One bit of good House news for Democrats, we are sweeping close races in North Carolina at this time
We're not doing well in the South or Midwest in general right now, but a surprise is North Carolina. We are ahead in all the races to watch there. If we end up keeping the house, the three or four close races in North Carolina that it looks like we are going to win may be the difference.

3. Etheridge is up too?
I hope we win them because the four in VA, according to MSNBC, the Dems are all behind.

8. The DSCC never gave Elaine one dime. I am furious about that.
Rahmn's favored one didn't win the primary so they shut their pocketbook.

Elaine didn't have the money to inform the public that Burr was collecting 9 million dollars from big oil, Wall Street, insurance companies, etc.

:mad: :nuke: :argh:

Allocating finite resources isn't easy.

14. All NC House races are set except Etheridge
who is in a complete draw.

No turnover in NC outside of this race which may not be decided any time soon.

16. and if he loses he needs to look in a mirror to find who to blame
His idiotic pushing of the college cameraman cost him the race, if he loses it. I am proud and amazed we apparently either held all our seats or all but one while Marshall went down in flames.

21. according to a friend on facebook it might be not as good as I hoped
we may have lost control of the general assembly. If that happens we will have a marriage amendment here.
