Although I dont live there now, NC is my home state. I hate what has happenned....lil dickie burr is completely worthless and now Thom Tillis! Tillis is Rove/GOPe trash for sure..completely worthless.
The Hag was an easy target....
Yesterday on my local radio station in NC I heard a beautiful story:
“Today is the last day you can register to vote in November’s election.”
Because of the reforms passed by Tillis and our new Republican legislature we no longer have same day registration and voting. There is also drastically reduced early voting. And they got rid of (I believe) the right to vote outside your precinct on election day.
So I’m not as down on Tillis as most North Carolinians. And a few days ago a court let these reforms stand. So Hagan and the Democrats just lost a gigantic advantage they had in 08 and 12.
I agree with Mangia E Statti Zitto's opinion. If you still lived in NC, you would realize that Tillis is not really a bad candidate. He is very articulate and impressive in person. He has not only been bombarded with ads paid for with out-of-state money, but the legislature was also VERY late adjourning this year and Tillis could not actively campaign or raise money while it was still in session. Also, ever since the Republicans took the reins of government two years ago, the NAACP and other left wing groups have been conducting "Moral Mondays" of protest at the legislative building. Hagan has profited from the lies these people have been spreading and has used them herself. Now that Tillis can better respond to these attacks, I believe he will win and will prove to be an effective Senator (much better than Burr, IMO).
I live in NC. The state is deteriorating.
