The real reason Brad Miller's being targeted?

Maybe it's because he's actually been doing his job:

"There's a reason they want me out," Miller said. "I've been a pretty effective advocate too." If I needed proof, he said, I should ask Warren.

The next day, I did ask, and Warren responded with a wholehearted endorsement: "Brad has a long and deep history" with banking and consumer-protection issues, she declared, and "sees the side that families live back home."

Which (of course) scares the bejesus out of the moneylenders in the temple:

That allows him to challenge the industry's lobbyists, she went on, not in a blustery way, "but in a carefully thought-out, detailed and therefore a much more effective way."

And just as a fuck-you to President Obama for allowing him to continue prosecuting well-known NC Democrats, Republican US Attorney EB Holding sez he wants Brad's seat in Congress as well:

The federal prosecutor who oversaw investigations into former presidential candidate John Edwards and former Gov. Mike Easley plans to get into politics himself.

George Holding, who stepped down last week as U.S. attorney for eastern North Carolina, will run for the 13th Congressional District seat held by Democrat Brad Miller

This is just one more example of how fucking stupid the Democratic Party can be. No good deed will go unpunished.
