Be careful with those numbers. NC governor came into office in 2013, as the national economy was picking up steam. California, with much different politics, nearly matched NC in gdp growth over that very brief timeframe.
Never mind that NC still has U3 and U6 unemployment levels noticeably above the national average. Conservative politics in that state have only kept it moving along in the same direction as the rest of the country, though with higher than average unemployment.

As for the economy, North Carolina did have the fastest-growing GDP in the country between the first quarter of 2013, when McCrory took office, and the third quarter of 2015. The pace has slowed recently, but that doesn't change the truth of the statement.
And California was .2 points behind it. I guess democratic politics work pretty well too, huh?
North Carolina has very high unemployment and underemployment (so does California, and Florida, and a number of other red and blue states that the article doesn't talk about). Let's not be sheep here and look a little harder into the reality of the situation.

So what's your point? They aren't #1 by far so they weren't #1? I simply quoted your own article that says its a true statement. You are trying to turn it into a red vs blue issue...for what reason we may never know.

"Maybe the state has good reason to be full right wing"
Your comment, the first red vs blue statement in that discussion. I wasn't turning it into anything, just adding some context to your absolute statement referencing one very vague, constantly changing variable ( the variable being state quarterly gdp growth, your absolute comment being the right wing politics had anything to do with it).

And how is that red VS BLUE. It's only red vs blue if you feel that by giving credit to a red strategy working is a slight against blue strategy. Red, blue or green - people may not be inherently opposed to something that isn't broken.
I think Trump might win Pennsylvania, and maybe could even flip Wisconsin.
