NC 2016 Gubernatorial Discussion Thread

^ Thanks, VERY interesting and useful. So, for exqample, Republicans dominate on local level in most of the far  far west mountains, most "textile counties", and in South-East, which is most "Deep South" part of the state. Some other interesting conclusions can be made too. BIG thanks!

P.S. I would be very interested in similar maps and data for about 10-15 other states, but i understand which big work it takes to make even one.

Now this is not universal, but it seems like Democrats are doing very, very well across the board with fundraising all over the country.

Yeah, but good fundraising doesn't directly translates into number of votes received..

Finally! I hate McCrory and his politics...

I'm disappointed by the results, but a major thank you goes to Governor McCrory for never stopping to fight for conservative values when it would have been so easy to cave into the pressure of the left!

And he deservedly got booted by voters for his "valiant fight". Yes!!!!. The FIRST NC governor to lose reelection since it became legal))))

Bev Perdue in 2012?

She retired voluntarily. A difference.
