Fighting entrenched incumbents...

Here's a twist: a super PAC that's not trying to supply millions of dollars to buy the GOP nomination for one of the candidates.

The Campaign for Primary Accountability says it's aimed at undoing the insanity of veteran incumbents in U.S. Congressional districts who have more or less "safe" seats, that is, districts in which one party has such a stronghold that it's more or less impossible for the incumbent to lose in his or her re-election contest. Often these districts have been gerrymandered into weirdly nonsensical shapes to create the safe haven, regardless of the negative impact on the people of the district. Incumbents who can't lose may be beholden to interests other than those of the people.

This Texas-based group is just getting started  by helping to finance challengers going up against pols who have become part of a "permanent political class" that isn't exactly focused on righteously doing the public's business. CPA claims it will be non-partisan, and will go after both Republicans and Democrats who have been in Congress just too darn long.

(You might argue that this includes almost every one of them, but let's start with the egregious cases first….)

Now, I hasten to say that I'm opposed to the operation of ALL super PACs on principle, but Leo Linbeck III and his Campaign for Primary Accountability at least seem to be on the right side of the welfare of American voters. Let's wait and see what kind of work Leo and his wealthy friends do, and how well they honor their commitment.
