Have you never heard of cosmic irony? Yes, the Democrats blew it and deserved the beating they took in 2010. But with the approval ratings of that bunch of Republicans in Raleigh now in the low teens, and with 2016 looming, I just wouldn't be bragging like that. Those Republicans expect their gerrymandered districts to save them, that and the suppression of certain groups of voters like college students. If Roy Cooper beats your governor McCrory -- for an elected office that cannot be gerrymandered -- that will end Four Eggers career running the local board of elections.Henerynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6194583.post-7718446895254544322015-08-16T15:18:15.441-05:002015-08-16T15:18:15.441-05:00Jus Sayin' -- Yeah, and all the folks you ment...Jus Sayin' -- Yeah, and all the folks you mentioned are in the 18-25 age demographic.

Jeeze if those damned Republicans actually appealed to voters, it's likely we would end up with a Republican governor, 2 Republican Senators, A Republican congressman, A Republican state senator, A Republican legislator and a Republican county commission!<br /><br />Thank GOD they have no appeal to the voters!

Discourage them, and they'll never get into the habit of paying attention OR voting. The fewer people vote, the great the chance their brand of politics will win. When more people vote, Democrats win (...especially if the districts aren't gerrymandered!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
