Quote of the Day at Political Wire:

"The Republican Party has been hijacked by the religious fanatics that, in my opinion, aren’t a whole lot different than Osama bin Laden and a lot of the other religious nuts around the world."

-- Ohio U.S. Senate candidate Paul Hackett (D), quoted in the Columbus Dispatch.

Good for him. And the Dispatch reports today that after Ohio Republican Party Chairman Robert T. Bennett said Hackett should apologize, Hackett refused.

"I said it. I meant it. I stand behind it," he said.
