PowerLine’s Scott Johnson has a very complimentary post on Renee Ellmers, who has apparently defeated 2nd District Democratic incumbent Bob Etheridge:
Ellmers undertook an extremely difficult race in order to resist the nationalization of American health care. As a registered nurse, she had a pretty good idea what she was talking about. She ran a professional campaign. She was in the right place to benefit from Etheridge’s unhinged attempt to ascertain the identity of his sidewalk interlocutors. Then the Wave helped carry her to victory on November 2.
Ellmers will contribute to the ranks of congressmen who took a professional path outside of law, as will a few others in the new class of freshmen. For all these reasons, it seems to me, her victory is one to be celebrated and savored.
