			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://ericodom.blogivists.com/files/2008/04/hacket.jpg" align="left" alt="Chris Hackett" />Rep. Chris Carney (D-Pa.), a pork loving liberal from Pennsylvania, has a pretty hefty challenge coming from <a href="http://www.chrishackettforcongress.com/">Chris hackett</a>, a conservative in the race for Congress.</p>
<p>Not only is Chris Hackett a solid candidate on his own, he also has some huge endorsements coming in from the liberty action realm as well as the blogosphere. <a href="http://www.redstate.com/stories/elections/2008/redstate_endorses_chris_hackett_for_congress">RedState earlier endorsed Hackett for Congress</a>, and now <a href="http://www.politico.com/blogs/thecrypt/0208/Club_for_Growth_endorses_Carneys_GOP_opponent.html">Club for Growth has followed suit</a>.</p>
<blockquote><p><em>“With his business background and his pro-growth campaign platform, Chris Hackett has demonstrated an intuitive understanding of the importance of limited-government, free-market policies in advancing economic growth,” said Club for Growth President Pat Toomey said in a statement.</em></p></blockquote>
<p>Typically I don&#8217;t get excited about Republicans, but in this case I&#8217;m looking forward to seeing the outcome. Also, see the video below for Hackett&#8217;s latest ad on Carney.</p>
