I had the opportunity for an audience with Charlotte pastor — and US Senate candidate — Mark Harris on Saturday. (I do have to commend him for not running away in terror after I introduced myself. For some reason, I scare some political candidates.)

Renee Ellmers has been proud of her ties to House leadership. She once slipped up - I think - in a conversation with me, referring to House Speaker John Boehner as her "boss."

During the current drama over the "government shutdown," we are peppered with a lot of moaning and groaning about GRIDLOCK. Lefties and their lapdogs in the remnants of the legacy media pine for the days when their agenda - "gems" like The New Deal and The Great Society - simply got ramrodded t

I am sure Renee Ellmers thought it would be a pretty cushy event. Gatherings in Pinehurst tend to be very cordial, polite, docile, civil affairs. (Especially if cocktails are being served.)

It's sadly no surprise to hear of a Washington politician coming down on both sides of an issue. But it is surprising when you find out it we're talking about Renee Ellmers, and the IT is the defunding of ObamaCare.

That's the money quote straight from Congressman Bob Pittenger's big mouth during his do-over town hall in Matthews last night. Not much better than the first go around.

Apparently, Bob Pittenger wants a do-over. The Charlotte area congressman didn't handle his last attempt at a town hall meeting very well. He ended up putting himself in the crosshairs of the Tea Party - and most North Carolinians - on the issue of ObamaCare.

Congresswoman Renee Ellmers is having quite a rocky relationship with folks in her new majority Republican district. A recent survey by Public Policy Polling found that she was leading her Democrat opponent Steve Wilkins by only 44-28 in this VERY Republican district.
