N.C. FreeEnterprise Foundation's Stewart offers pre-election analysis


    RALEIGH — Local factors are likely to play a larger role than statewide issues in this year's N.C. legislative elections, and no one should expect a major shift in partisan control of either the state House or Senate. That's the assessment from the head of a group that monitors statewide elections from a business perspective.

    Joe Stewart, executive director of the N.C. FreeEnterprise Foundation, answered a question about state legislative races after delivering a speech Monday to the John Locke Foundation's Shaftesbury Society. The speech focused on humorous anecdotes from state and national political history.

    In the video clip below, Stewart offers his assessment of elections to the N.C. General Assembly, where Republicans hold a 77-43 majority in the House and 33-17 margin in the Senate.

Joe Stewart is "spot on." Had Tillis paid attention, he just might have had a chance in the Hagan Debate last night. As it was, Tillis climbed the monkey tree again and clearly showed his tail to all in NC.

I hope he has enough money to make a living in NC in the next few years because it won't be in Washington---unless NC citizens hate the President enough to buy Tillis' only campaign promise. Hagan is running on positive plans for the future / Tillis is wanting to destroy bi-partisanship in Washington and try to Impeach the President along with total idiots going against a Constitutional Lawyer in the Oval Office!
