By the way, another name for another race that is being talked about, that I haven't posted any articles about yet...
NC-8, which the Dems took last year with Larry Kissell beating Robin Hayes. This is the same seat that Hayes was trying to get Panthers player Mike Minter to run for a while back. Well, now some party folks are apparently talking to long-time Charlotte mayor Pat McCrory, who lost a competitive race to Perdue last year.
Just an FYI, as personally I think it's a bit foolish to look to McCrory to take that seat back. A sliver of the district runs into Charlotte but it's the most Democratic area of the city (blacks and possibly young voters around the UNC-Charlotte area), and overall he lost the district pretty badly (although he did better than Hayes). See
here for a local blog post, where I discuss the numbers with the author in the comment section.
Well the rat Mayor of Montgomery Alabama won a GOP CD that includes only a fraction of his city.
If McCrory didn’t carry the CD in his close gubernatorial race...
I recall him being described as a borderline conservative anyway. “toms” from the blog seems to agree with that.
