They might or might not be mad at McCrory, but they like the Democrats even less. But I'm game to test your theory. Get back to me when District 10 votes out McHenry and replaces him with a Democrat. He has to run every 2 years so is a good indication of where the political winds are blowing.

That will all depend on if the Republicans pull something like they did last time. They sent out mailers claiming that Democrats were against traditional marriage & brought out the crazies, many of whom had never voted before. They did not send out anything on McHenry's behalf & added Asheville to the district on one-way end & Gastonia & eastern Gaston County, which is starting to shift, on the other. People in Gastonia were not happy about the hearings in Gastonia presented by McHenry & the DC Republicans. There was talk last time of the old money Republicans in Gastonia voting him out but the Democratic candidate made a fatal mistake.

This however has nothing to do with the anger that I hear, locally, concerning McCrory & the GA's policies in general.
