The republicans have been in the "mansion" for nearly two years then the state drops out of the top ten.

Believe me or don't believe me, I really don't much care, but the North Carolina brand is being hurt. Period. Feel free to blame it on ... I'll be saddened that a very promising place made a deliberate choice to pander to short sighted political hucksterism.

Best of luck, folks.

I agree. There is more political positioning going on based on ideology, not facts. I know that is part of the political positioning game, but it seems we are at the point of throwing the baby out with the bath water. It's a shame.
I was a Republican my entire voting life until last year. I believed in fiscal responsibility along with social responsibility. But, I believe "responsibility" has been replaced with an inappropriate "R" word - Righteous, or Revenge, and it is hurting all of us - IMHO.
