It's a shame NC elected a nut like Perdue. McCrory would've been a great governor like he's been a great mayor for Charlotte.

I wouldn't call Perdue a nut. After going back and watching the debates McCrory came off as a rich snob who only cared about things that would better Charlotte. Also Charlotte isn't that much better off then it was before he became Major. Thats why McCrory lost alot of voter in the rural areas of NC.

I love rich snobs, being one myself. He did get killed in rural areas and failed to win Mecklenberg County. Every time I've heard Bev speak, she's sounded like a nut--this coming from a guy who has a favorable view of Mike Easely.

Every time I heard Bev speak she reminded me of an old teacher I use to have. I think Bev will do a good job, I thought Pat would have done a good job too.

McCrory would have easily won if it weren't for the Obama coattails in Mecklenberg county (and pretty much everywhere else).

No he wouldn't.

Yes, he would've. Obama needed everything to go perfectly to win in NC, and it did. Otherwise, McCrory and McCain win, but Dole still loses.

No, I'm not saying McCrory wouldn't have won. I was saying he wouldn't have won easily. He would have won by the same margin that Bev won by.

That's still a majority of the vote, and thus an easy win.

I disagree, because Obama had MASSIVE coattails in Mecklenberg county, where he was mayor.  He would have likely won the county by 10 points or so if Obama wasn't in the running.  Also, check out western NC.  There is no way Perdue would have won those collection of counties by those margins, or even at all.

I still say a 5 point win for McCrory.

You didn't see the ads that ran about McCrory and rural areas did you?
