According to the Wall Street Journal, 9th District Congressman Rick Boucher’s support of Cap-and-Trade is deadly. And it’s the reason he shouldn’t be sent back to Congress.
Mr. Boucher felt so invulnerable that last year he made the mindboggling decision to join with green purists to craft the cap-and-trade dagger aimed at his own district—home to thousands of coal jobs. He is a powerful member on the House Energy Committee, and his support helped pull along other reluctant Democrats, earning him a shout out from the White House. It also earned him a target on his back.

A Virginia Democrat with a ‘safe’ seat angers constituents with his anti-coal vote.

For 28 years, Boucher has cozied up to the coal industry and been very successful with constituent services, making him vitually unbeatable. Then last time around, thinking he was safe, he showed his true feelings by supporting the job killing Cap-and-Trade.
When the Republican wave of November 2nd finally washes out Nancy Pelosi’s swamp, will Boucher be caught up in the current?
