"Problem is, he needs to not only get a plurality, but also to come out on top of a run-off."
The one thing I'm afraid of is Vernon not making it into the run-off because there are so many other candidates from Winston-Salem (and other conservatives in general) in the race. But if Vernon makes the run-off against Foxx, he should beat her with ease. The more conservative candidate will have the edge in the run-off, and that won't be Foxx.
Johnny, do your sources still say "Vernon cain't win" because the W-S vote will be split among too many candidates? Or has he picked up some traction? Have any polls been released yet?

The vote is pretty well split between the top 4, but only the top 2 get into the runoff.

The more conservative candidate will have the edge in the run-off, and that won't be Foxx. I wonder. Or will they go for the more familiar, don't-rock-the-boat candidate? Might depend on turnout, the lower the better for Vernon, I'm thinking.
As for my "sources", I'm pretty much out of the loop at this point! Huber's plugged in at all times, of course.
