Wilson must have slept in late today, because he hasn't yet plastered the site with references to this morning's Tully column on Congressman Andre Carson reaching one year in office, a mile marker that the Star political writer saw as an opportunity to check in with the 7th District's busy representative.
When Carson returned my phone call from D.C., I asked what he was up to.
"Working, working, working, working," he said.
Then I asked how things were going after a year in Congress.
"Great, great, great, great."
That's Andre Carson.
During his short stint in public office, he's proved himself to be relentlessly positive and seriously hardworking. He's constantly in motion and constantly smiling. He's frustrated his grandmother's fiercest critics by emerging as a solid U.S. representative -- one who has worked hard to expand the base of support he inherited.
The greatest testament to Congressman Carson coming into his own is probably the least easy to notice: Silence.
As in, you haven't heard a substantial peep out of anyone concerning a 2010 primary challenge.
