have you noticed all the clandestein efforts by the republicans to deny vote privilege's to the progressives down to redistricting in order to change the boundaries of where they live and the progressive's live in order to insure elections, no stealing election. "God does not like ugly", and right now the right paints a "A Picture of Dorian Gray".
Rep. Mike McIntyre is turning out to be harder to dislodge than Republicans predicted when they redistricted the North Carolina Democrat into a GOP-leaning seat.
There is generally good news for Tarheel State Republicans as Nov. 6 approaches: They appear on track to pick up three Democratic-held seats in the House of Representatives this November - those of retiring Reps. Brad Miller and Heath Shuler and the seat of vulnerable Rep. Larry Kissell. The lone piece of bad news: Ousting the eight-term McIntyre is going to be more difficult than originally expected - if he is beaten at all.
Despite the good baseline numbers, Republicans in the state are privately expressing increasing worry about the race.
The crux of the concern is not the candidate - state Sen. David Rouzer is a credible, if not particularly dynamic challenger - or his campaign, which appears to be tightly run. It's that McIntyre has a surprisingly resilient support among independents and has painted almost none of the easy Democratic bull's-eyes on his back for Republicans to target.will this backfire, only the NC electorate can tell, any good news is just that good news.
