NC: Breaking More Than 100 Years of Democratic Control
Today, your blogger came across a blog post recommended by soon-to-be Presidential candidate Herman Cain. Cain posted a link to this article on his Facebook page and KCC found it an interesting read. She wishes she could claim to have written it, but she can’t. The authors were Ben Cannatti and Ford O’Connell.
Cannatti and O’Connell begin:
1898 was a long time ago, so it’s unlikely that anyone remembers when the Republican Party last controlled the North Carolina Senate. 2010 may be the year that everyone’s memory of Republican victory gets a boost. With redistricting on the agenda next year, the GOP’s goal of a majority in the Senate could go a long way to leveling the playing field and keeping both the state senate and house chamber more balanced for years to come.
They discuss the opportunity for North Carolina to regain control in the State Legislature and use the example of GOP candidate Dan Soucek, who is running in the 45th Senate District.
The post is a worthwhile read as they note that the 45th is a key indicator district, which is slated to go GOP this year. Keep your fingers crossed and make sure your friends go vote! God bless our Great State!
