Regaining the NC state legislature is probably a loss cause for now due to redistricting (note to voters - don't vote in the Republicans in a census year - they get to redraw the districts to make sure that they never have to give back power) but we desperately need to avoid a Republican governor. I hope that President Obama and the national DNC will help us.
