IMHO Joe has 2 chances, slim and none, as a conservative. He want to represent voters that put Dennis Kucinich in as mayor of Cleveland, where he promptly bankrupt the city. Then they sent him to Washington to work on doing the same thing to the nation. Voting over and over for waste, fraud, and corruption with the clueless Dennis. The only way they got rid of him, was gerrymandering him out of a district. He had to run against a more corrupt liberal and finally failed. I remember Dennis in a radio interview with Neal Boortz. Neal asked Dennis about his position on income taxes. Dennis had no idea about who paid taxes and how income was distributed, but was ready to vote for taxing the evil rich! He did know his voters.

Some people enter the public consciousness willingly; others accidentally. But how one gets there has little to do with how one handles it once the national spotlight begins to shine.

Some step up. Some melt like an ice sculpture on a hot summer day. Because the spotlight doesn’t turn you into something you’re not; it accentuates who you are.

Similarly, progressives argue money corrupts politics. Not so. Money may be the means through which corruption is conducted, but honest people never seem to find themselves in those situations. They never have to walk away from bribes because the bribes...
