Brad, Bernie and the Banks

Congressman Brad Miller is never the happiest of warriors. But this year could raise his angst to new levels.
 
Miller worries in the Greensboro News & Record that – thanks to the Supreme Court’s corporate-campaign ruling – he might be the target of bank-sponsored attacks.
 
“I’ve made a real nuisance of myself to the most financially powerful industry in the United States,” Miller told Mark Binker.
 
Banks wouldn’t be his only worry. He’s also got Carter Wrenn running Bernie Reeve’s campaign against him.
 
Democrats facing Carter always ask me: “What’s he going to do?” Like it’s a mystery.
 
Carter will do the voodoo he always does.
 
Bernie’s campaign will do the research, they’ll raise the money, and Carter will have Bernie chewing on Brad’s leg from the get-go.
 
Memo to Brad: Don’t sit around waiting for it. Get going now. Define Bernie before he defines you.
 
Miller should win his race. After all, he drew up his own district.
 
But he won’t be having a lot of fun.
