There are still plant closings going on today in the 11th. But Shuler is down the line with union positions, so the creative sort of decision-making which can build AMERICAN agricultural employment, and AMERICAN tourism employment are beyond him. The reason for stressing “American” is that Heath couldn’t comprehend the details in the immigration law if his life depended on it.

Mountain folks have always been susceptible to a populist campaign, CBB. Policies that have been, rightly or wrongly, associated entirely with the GOP are becoming highly unpopular. But, they are conservative traditionalists at heart. Pounce on every single instance of Shuler going against popular opinion in the 11th. Provide plausible alternatives to the socialist policies of Democrats. That will get you a long way towards your objective. Taylor, should he decide to run for his old seat, will be just as vulnerable as he was last fall, on his cute little “oops, I forgot to vote” CAFTA lie, his corruption ... he became the prototypical fat cat that your potential constituents detest, for the most part.
