Description

LATE LAST YEAR, Walter Jones looked like he might lose his seat in Congress. The seven-term Republican's emergence as a fierce critic of the Iraq War had angered some erstwhile supporters back home. He had a serious primary opponent in Onslow County Commissioner Joe McLaughlin. Influential Beltway conservatives were beginning to set their sights on Jones as well. A $500-a-head McLaughlin for Congress fundraiser at Arent Fox's downtown law offices last November wasn't attended by an overflow crowd. The best known and most hawkish journalist on hand, David Frum, was there as a cosponsor rather than a reporter. But amidst the hors d'oeuvres and friendly banter, there was a sense of optimism that Jones could be beaten. The most hopeful may have been McLaughlin himself. "I've hammered in signs for Walter Jones," he told me. "But he's gone too far. People in the district are ready for a change."
