Want to know why McCrory lost in NC?

This editorial this morning from CBC--Jesse Helms' TV station--sums it up.

Editorial: HB2 folly sends fans, NC jobs and millions to other states

This weekend North Carolina is boosting the economies of Florida and California.

The ACC football championship, which was supposed to be played in Charlotte, is being hosted by Orlando. $32 MILLION. Cha-ching!

The NCAA Division 1 Women’s Soccer Championship (featuring the UNC Tar Heels), was supposed to be in Cary. Instead of playing in front of a home-state crowd, the Heels are at the championships on the west coast, in San Jose. $4 MILLION. Cha-ching!

North Carolina-based vendors, merchants, restaurants, motels – all that just a few months ago were anticipating a big-business weekend – are quiet and struggling. The reason is House Bill 2.

No one understands it better than Hill Carrow, CEO of Sports & Properties Inc., a sports and entertainment marketing and development firm. He founded the State Games of North Carolina, the Triangle Sports Commission and the N.C. Sports Association. If he didn’t invent sports tourism, he coined the term.

In a single day in March, Gov. Pat McCrory and the General Assembly brought all that to a screeching halt. HB2 has jeopardized what Carrow, who works with many groups organizing sporting events including Capitol Broadcasting Company, has spent more than 30 years building.

I am forwarding a copy of the editorial to McCrory's office with a one word comment, CONCEDE!

It's no wonder that enough North Carolina Republicans--who voted for Trump--crossed over to vote for Cooper.

1. Evidently Pat hasn't caught up with the

latest craze -- that political inclusion is good business.

Lost a lot of dough on his little hate stunt and now the totals in his re-election bid are moving decisively to Cooper.

You're outta here, Pat. Pack up and hit the road.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

2. It's great that McCrory is toast

but will the Republicans in the Legislature be repealing HB2 now?

[dsc]

9. No

They are quite safely gerrymandered but that map was just thrown out and many will have to run in 2017 and that might get some of them to decide it would be a good idea.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

10. Oh right.

Good point.

3. Lots of Republicans will just be mumbling "Cooper got more votes. Period."

[LisaL]

4. Somebody should tell him he lost.

He still hasn't conceded.

[Wellstone ruled]

5. Every State that had tryed to

pull this garbage,suddenly woke up to the plain truth,it is all about the money. All those Church Lady Laws bite you in the Ass.

6. Texas has not learned from this

nope

[Tikki]

7. Let us make this happen in all regressive States.
