VIDEO: Local, Not Statewide Factors to Sway N.C. Legislative Races

Latest Polls (view all)

Now that Kamala Harris has been coronated the Democratic Socialist designee for nomination as their candidate for President of these United States, after that political party's contrived primary process "democratically" elected Joseph R. Biden: What are your feelings about this party's progressive posture within their self-styled exercise of "Saving Democracy for America," and how truly critical the outcome of this presidential election will be?

6.25% I am ecstatic that this "Democracy's" First partially Black, First partially Indian, First female Co-Parent, and that this nation's primary necessity, is to her elect our First woman president.

31.25% I really do not care about all these "Firsts." I will continue to pray, and work for this Representative Republic to elect someone competent, and brilliantly patriotic to be our next president.

62.5% I will never vote for any politician that "first" does not have the core values to understand how dire this Constitutional Republic's situation has become.

N.C. FreeEnterprise Foundation's Stewart offers pre-election analysis

    RALEIGH — Local factors are likely to play a larger role than statewide issues in this year's N.C. legislative elections, and no one should expect a major shift in partisan control of either the state House or Senate. That's the assessment from the head of a group that monitors statewide elections from a business perspective.

    Joe Stewart, executive director of the N.C. FreeEnterprise Foundation, answered a question about state legislative races after delivering a speech Monday to the John Locke Foundation's Shaftesbury Society. The speech focused on humorous anecdotes from state and national political history.

    In the video clip below, Stewart offers his assessment of elections to the N.C. General Assembly, where Republicans hold a 77-43 majority in the House and 33-17 margin in the Senate.

Joe Stewart is "spot on." Had Tillis paid attention, he just might have had a chance in the Hagan Debate last night. As it was, Tillis climbed the monkey tree again and clearly showed his tail to all in NC.

I hope he has enough money to make a living in NC in the next few years because it won't be in Washington---unless NC citizens hate the President enough to buy Tillis' only campaign promise. Hagan is running on positive plans for the future / Tillis is wanting to destroy bi-partisanship in Washington and try to Impeach the President along with total idiots going against a Constitutional Lawyer in the Oval Office!
