It’s Not About You

When Ken Lewis entered the U.S. Senate race, he had a good story about his family’s rise from slavery and the farm. The N&O said he “vowed to support policies that would help other families pursue the American dream.”
Lewis said:
“That arc of progress that begins right here in Person County Outlaw Road
A big thing is missing there: What policies? And how will they help North Carolinians ?
It’s not enough to have a good story about yourself. You have to relate it to voters.
One other beef: That “arc of progress” phrase. A too-obvious imitation of Barack Obama’s “arc of history.”
