Burr will win.

Considering what happened with Tillis versus Hagan, I am inclinded to think that McCrory does too, though it will be rather close and no where near what 2012 looked like.

I got to get myself into a 2016 mindset, but mind seems to not want to. Tongue

Ah I see. Thanks! On a side note, it's quite amazing how split the NC electorate is. Almost all the statewide partisan races were decided by tiny margins, save for the Lt Gov race, which was still nothing substantial either.
Cherie Berry and Steve Troxler won by just over 10%.

Cherie Berry only won by such a huge margin because of her elevator signs. Steve Troxler's large margin of victory was much more legitimate, but only because virtually nobody outside of rural areas cares about his office.

I think it was best said on NCSpin the Sunday after the election. For decades, Democrats were the default party down ballot even as Republicans won the Presidency/Senate races. Now that has changed with the Republicans becoming the default party except those races where the Democrats stood out by virtue of greater resources like with Josh Stein or Roy Cooper.

This is the first time the Republicans will have a majority of these state constitutional offices.
