the Republican juggernaut in this state MUST be stopped. Republicans haven't controlled both chambers of the legislature for over 100 years and since they took control in 2010, they've been on the WAR PATH. If McCrory (R) wins as governor over Dalton (D) in November, I may be slapping up a For Sale sign on my home and fleeing back north.
