Apparently this guy switched from being a Pub to a Dem prior to becoming an LA State Rep.  Talk about opportunism...

Like we were talking about on FB, Miles, the Dems are partly to blame for their current predicament.  I can't say I have a very high opinion of them, either. Tongue

And what Sol says is true.  The Democrats won't be getting their majority back at least until 2022, so playing the moderate hero game is kind of pointless now.  If the Dems help the GOP override McCrory's welfare bill veto, then it will only be harder for them to make a legitimate case against this Assembly.

The NRSC is going to attack Hagan on two new things: the welfare drug testing and the war on coal.

Seriously? They're gonna have to do better than that. Even McCrory agrees with her on the drug testing issue. I'm pretty pro-coal myself, but I'm not sure how they'll justify the war on coal attack line on her; maybe they were confusing NC with WV or KY? Obviously, coal mining is a huge economic driver in NC:



I always thought coal was huge in western NC/eastern TN.  You learn something new every day, I guess.

My reaction: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31g0YE61PLQ

I wish I could say Perkins would make an R+19 seat in the Deep South competitive... but I highly doubt it.

If the race turns out to be competitive, I'll donate as much as I can to his Democrat challenger.  I don't care if he's only slightly different from Perkins issues-wise.

Surprise! Rep. Mark Meadows' obnoxious ideological crusades are negatively impacting his district:

Democrats should put some effort into recruiting here.  Chances of us winning the district back are slim with Asheville out of it, but maybe a Shuler-esque candidate can beat Meadows if they run on the government shutdown.

I hate to say it, but most of NC would be hostile to Aiken because... you know why.  I hope he doesn't go through with this this year, especially in Ellmers' district.

Is Tony Perkins still exploring a run?  I don't know how often the FRC endorses candidates, but maybe his Alex Mooney endorsement (albeit in another state) is a sign that he wants to gain prominence...?

Great analysis, Miles.  Think you could do something like that for NC?

“I don’t think he wants a repeat performance of ‘American Idol,'" Randy Voller, North Carolina's Democratic Party chair, said of Aiken. "I think he wants to finish first, not second.”

I more or less agree with this.  I like Aiken.  I'd hate to see him go down in flames this way.

As I said on Facebook, I almost feel like writing him and telling him not to do this.

When I clicked on that link, I was expecting something real bad, like maybe a corruption scandal or something, not an affair.  Is that really going to have an impact?  I know it's Louisiana, but...

When asked which country is the bigger threat between Russia, China, and Iran, all the candidates said "Russia."  I guess Iran is no longer the bad guy it once was. Tongue

Apparently Hagan underperformed in Conserva-Dem counties against an OWS-type guy who's pro-immigration reform, pro-marijuana, and anti-NSA.  Any explanation to that, Miles?

From what I've heard, both of her opponents were entirely anonymous. So maybe it was just a matter of checking off a name that wasn't Hagan's? Miles can shed more light on this, but that's what I thought it was.

That's a shame.  I figured that if WNC is becoming friendlier to libertarian-leaning Dems of populist stripes, then maybe I have a political future here after all. Tongue

So it is safe to say Columbus County is probably out of reach for Hagan this time?

R.I.P.  That's terrible. Sad

The obvious question has to be asked: what would have happened if Crisco won the primary?

Clay Aiken has won the primary.

It looks like he won't be invisible to voters on the November ballot. Smiley
