Roy Carter NC-05 Virginia Foxx

24,000 Votes

The primaries have me pretty exhausted, but I feel the need to post this now.

In 2006, Roger Sharpe, a relative unknown with less than six months of prep time came within 24,000 votes of unseating millionaire incumbent Virginia Foxx.

Looking over the results in MS-01, LA-06, and IL-14, and taking into account the high turnout this time around, I cannot help but think that Roy Carter has a real shot here.

I realize that many here are focusing on races closer to home, but I encourage those who can to throw a little support to Roy.

The longer Foxx stays in, the harder it will be to unseat her. To be totally honest, I thought that 06 was our only real shot. But now the window has opened wider.

Thanks for listening.

I just got back in from the Cocktails for Carter event in Winston-Salem. For a coolish, rainy, Tuesday night it November, things went better than expected.

TrueMeckDem on Myers Park Pat

"My opinion of Pat has changed over the years. I used to think he was truly a man of the people but the longer he has been mayor, the less I think of him.

As with most cities, Charlotte has three political parties: Dem, Rep, and Chamber of Commerce. Pat is definitely the puppet of the COC here. What is good for business is good for Charlotte and Pat ... very personable guy, he has gotten a bunch of Dems in these parts to vote for him but I don't trust him."
