(536 posts)the local gop kept pounding that point across for the past three years. That and former gov Easley who did some unethical things and all the gop had to do was lump Democrats together. The good news is that many other posts were filled by Democrats. Elaine Marshall won reelection as secretary of state which is great. So thank that slimeball John Edwards - He was well liked until RH and Elizabeth is still well loved. The local Democrats rolled over and let the gop take this election without much of a fight.
I firmly believe without that negative pall hanging over our heads, Obama would have led - this is the first time we've elected a republican governor in years! The fracking industry has a HUGE interest in our state right now and the gov elect and his minions are in their pockets. It really is a sad prospect as to what will happen over the next few years. The Koch brothers have been working hard and fast to color NC red.
We don't want that to happen!
