Where is the urgency?

As the November elections approach I am struck by the apparent lack of urgency and effort on the part of some of the challengers in the upcoming election. Poll after poll tells us the incumbents are facing very tough battles in their respective races. But polls are not the same as votes and if the challengers really want to make a difference they need to get out and work for it! Career incumbent politicians like Richard Neal and George McGovern just don't have to work as hard because lets face it, they have used their positions to fill their war chests and can count on a large number of voters, especially here in Massachusetts, to look for a D next to a candidate's name. Fortunately that is changing as evidenced by Scott Brown's election. If the challengers running for office this November really want to serve they need to get their message out. Where are the Lamb signs? Where are the Wesley signs? Where are the Baker signs? How about the standouts? What about the phone calls? It's time for those working with these candidates to get up and get out so the voters will hear their messages. They just might find the electorate is listening and more than willing vote for real change!
