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.

Foxx on Health Care

Foxx replied as she often does, throwing numbers into an equation attempting to validate her stances and to justify her voting record.

Frontpaged, though the title might be better phrased "Foxx on Not Health Care." Thanks for staying up late to write this.

Halloween In Weaverville

A coded message was received, 10/28 Weaverville, BYOB, theme “Out of this World”. We knew the drill, we must find a disguise, Aliens had landed.

It was just another autumnal day, later in the season the higher we climbed. The wind was blowing, stripping the trees, exposing bare branches. The color left was still spectacular, vivid yellow touched with orange to deep red.

From the Winston-Salem Journal:

Rep. Virginia Foxx, R-5th, said she was surprised by DeLay's decision, but that his donations of $15,000 to her campaigns have not affected how she votes.

"Contributions don't play a role in my decisions on voting either way. You can't let that cloud the way you think," she said.

Yeah, Ginny's record of voting with Tom 96% of

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."
