	Carolina Democratic Dream
		The Republican is Lauch Faircloth, a 70-year-old farmer, businessman and career state bureaucrat, a former Democrat so conservative that he refers to Jesse Helms as North Carolina's liberal senator.
		As a lead inquisitor on the Senate's special Whitewater committee, Faircloth's criticisms of the Clintons and questions about the Vince Foster suicide were so harsh and relentless—"for this White House, their reputation for ethical integrity has become their worst enemy," he once said—that committee chairman Alfonse D'Amato had to curb the senator's zeal.
		Faircloth plays a leading part in the Whitewater conspiracy theory because of his friendship with Judge David Sentelle, independent prosecutor Kenneth Starr's No. 1 defender.

		In July 1994, Senator Lauch Faircloth and Judge David Sentelle lunched together in the quietly elegant Senate dining room.
		Faircloth was a leader of the Republican charge against the Clintons on Whitewater; just weeks before, he had written Attorney General Janet Reno to complain about Fiske.
		Like other Republicans, Faircloth has seized on Bill Clinton's possible conflict-of-interest when he was governor of Arkansas and technically in charge of regulating the savings-and-loan of James McDougal, his partner in the Whitewater land deal.

		Lauch Faircloth's Senate biography states that he "believes politicians in Washington need to live by the same principles as hard-working men and women..." Well he sure doesn't vote his beliefs.
		Faircloth consistently represents the interests of wealthy special interests and their Washington lobbyists, not the interests of average working people in North Carolina.
		While Faircloth wants corporate America to have free reign, he constantly votes to limit government authority to protect consumers from corporate abuses whether by polluters, the giant insurance industry, unsafe food manufacturers or the makers of defective products.

	Faircloth Struggling in NC Senate Race -- 10/29/1998
		A September Mason-Dixon P/MR poll of likely voters gave Faircloth 50 percent and Edwards 40 percent of the voters, with ten percent undecided, but the latest Mason-Dixon P/MR poll taken in October puts those figures at 45 percent for Faircloth, 43 percent for Edwards, and 12 percent undecided.
		Faircloth's campaign manager, Chuck Fuller, says those issue ads have negatively portrayed Faircloth and have misrepresented his senate record.
		Fuller says that Faircloth, a farmer and businessman, is more in tune with North Carolina, the nation's largest tobacco grower.

		Faircloth told me later that he had made a tactical error in emphasizing Edwards’ personal background instead of more forcefully pushing him on the substantive issues where Faircloth was more in tune with swing voters.

		Faircloth, 70, was elected in 1992, after a career as a farmer and businessman and a stint on the North Carolina Highway Commission.
		Faircloth hammered away at Edwards' ties to the trial-lawyer community, suggesting that the challenger has been hypocritical by saying he doesn't accept "special interest" money (PAC funds), while he accepts donations from trial lawyers.

		The ultimate irony is that Lauch Faircloth lost his seat in 1998 in part because his poor attendance record became an issue in the race.
		According to the Charlotte Observer, Faircloth ranked 97th among 100 senators for voting attendance in the 105th session of Congress.
		While Faircloth made $136,000 periodically showing up to work for the people of North Carolina in 1988, Dow Chemical alone has paid Faircloth's firm $680,000 over the last 12 months reported to the US Senate.

		Faircloth, who until he ran for Senate in 1992 was a Democratic powerbroker himself, made the mistake that many Republicans and conservatives appear poised to repeat today: He wrote Johnny Edwards off as a trial lawyer easy to lampoon and demonize.
		I remember hearing from numerous Faircloth operatives about how easy it would be to expose him as a sham, as vapid and glib, as fast-talking Johnny Edwards on the make.
		Faircloth told me later that he had made a tactical error in emphasizing Edwards's personal background, which helped rather than hurt the Democrat, instead of more forcefully pushing him on the substantive issues where Faircloth was more in tune with swing voters.

		Over the summer, Senator Lauch Faircloth of North Carolina (R) proposed an amendment to a Senate appropriations bill that would eliminate all computer games in the federal workplace and ban the purchase of computers with pre-installed games.
		Faircloth and his colleagues in the Senate would lead one to believe that the government is "getting tough" on federal employees.
		It would certainly be absurd if Faircloth proposed federal regulations on all types of workplace activities, from coffee breaks to trips to the bathroom.

		Faircloth, recall, was the North Carolina hog farmer who was elected in 1992 — then beaten in 1998 by John Edwards (and beaten barely).
		But Faircloth took the work seriously, wanting the District to have a decent administration, and wanting poor fl kids, in particular, to have an out from failing and — worse — violent schools.

		During the Whitewater hearings, Faircloth used his seat on the Senate Banking Committee to accuse Hillary Clinton of having "lied." In the fight over health-care reform, he was one of the most vinegary opponents of the Clinton plan--or Hillary Care, as he liked to call it.
		On the day before Faircloth's press conference, Edwards was peddling his own health-care elixir at a panel discussion in Raleigh.
