Senate candidate David McCormick isn’t making much of an impression in the polls (yet) and his political resume doesn’t match the leading GOP candidate, fmr. Sen. George Allen. But he does have one thing Allen and the rest of the Republican field lacks: a theme.

In McCormick’s case, the theme is “Honesty, Efficiency, Accountability and Thriftiness,” or “HEAT.”  In our interview with him on “The Score” radio show, McCormick says these are the values that have motivated him over  his entire life, and he hopes they will become the bedrock principles in what he envisions as a new congressional culture: where incumbents grow the kind of spines they are notorious for lacking; and place where fidelity to the constitution reigns above petty concerns like getting re-elected.
