From the Cincinatti Enquirer via Political Wire:

Seems like the most famous Democratic Iraq war vet, Paul Hackett, isn’t ready to hang up his boots yet. Rumors are swirling that Hackett could jump in the race to unseat Rep. “Mean” Jean Schmidt, who narrowly defeated him in a special election last year. Her Democratic challenger, Victoria Wulsin, might willingly bow out, since Hackett has stronger name recognition.

Schmidt–dead last in Congressional seniority–is best known for calling decorated Marine and sixteen term Congressman Jack Murtha a coward on the House floor. Needless to say, that didn’t go over very well.

In retrospect, Hackett should have been in this race ever since the special election rather than flirting with a Senate primary. This is an exciting prospect.
