I liked the format of Thursday's debate much better than the previous two. It allowed for more of a give-and-take between the candidates.

Okay. It’s become pretty clear that Kay Hagan’s upper middle-class family has benefited greatly from our bloated state and federal governments.

Nothing undercuts the enjoyment of watching football (Go Steelers!) on a Sunday afternoon more than tiresome political ads, particularly those pro-Kay Hagan ads that employ "political sleight of hand" to substantiate claims of funding cuts to public education in North Carolina.

It's football season. One of the favorite stats of sports drive-bys is time of possession (a/k/a "time on offense.") The longer your team has the ball, the longer the other team is without the ball AND a chance to score points against you.

he drive-bys are working hard to gin up some interest in tonight's US Senate debate. They are trying to sell us on the possibility that this televised event tonight could change the course of the race.

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.)

Until now, it's been easy to draw comparisons between the 2014 US Senate GOP primary in North Carolina and the 2010 Kentucky GOP Senate primary, featuring a doctor - and political novice - and a seasoned, well-funded state government official.
