With the mid-terms looming, here's hoping that voters don't fall for the crock that they are motivated by 'anti-incumbent' sentiment. Much to the chagrin of the mainstream media, it is liberalism, and the prospect of its resounding defeat, that will likely bring voters to the polls in massive numbers. Despite expectations for the first successful national elections since 2004, conservative Republicans cannot afford to play out the clock and must redouble their efforts in key races.
Marching to the chant of 'Throw Da Bums Out!' would cost incumbent Richard Burr of North Carolina his seat, and the Senate one of its most consistent foes of the Obama agenda—including Elena Kagan, illegal immigration policy and national security lapses. Granted, faulting the Obama Administration is the national rage, and we're talking Democrats, too, but Richard Burr (latest American Conservative Union ranking, 92%) does not waffle and he does not waver — or if so, only seldom. Elected to the House in '94, as part of the Gingrich Revolution, and to the Senate in '04, he was touted early on as a possible McCain running mate in '08. Low-key, soft-spoken but humorous and principled, Burr is an attractive public figure who, at only 55, holds potential for even greater influence and position. And the Democrats know it.
