If he doesn't start voting more like McDermott and less like Larsen, he is going to be in trouble at that time. Not from a LaRouchie, though. The new 9th CD is a majority minority district, and someone like Ron Sims or Bruce Harrell will take Smith on unless he conforms more to the district's preferences.
