If I had been told during the Obama coronation that in just over a year a nurse from Dunn, NC would be challenging the political establishment and a seven-term incumbent in one of the state's most liberal districts, I probably wouldn't have believed it, but that's exactly what's slated to happen this afternoon as Congressional hopeful Renee Ellmers launches her campaign for NC-2. I was pleased to take part in a conference call with Mrs. Ellmers last night in which she discussed her upcoming bid. She hit all the major talking points: "Washington is broken," she says, and she's an outsider who—unlike our current representation—can help pick up the pieces; she's against health reforms that aren't really about care, and her work as a nurse gives her unique insight into the Health Care industry; she understands that perhaps the most important issue facing the U.S. today is our lackluster economy, and unlike Obama and his cronies, she understands the government can't actually create sustainable, private-sector jobs.
