That's a good point. Unfortunately, there is evidence in other North Carolina publications that Foxx is pulling ahead in the race. Three candidates who didn't make the runoff, including conservative Nathan Tabor, have endorsed her. The website www.politics1.com was mistakenly quoted in a Robinson mailer. In response, the website's founder (Ron Gunzberger) said in response "While we're flattered that Robinson thought the Politics1 brand name had enough political street cred to use as a weapon against an opponent, the willful deceitfulness clearly shows that Robinson lacks the integrity to serve in Congress." Also,
an organization which donated to Robinson broke campaign finance laws, and now his honesty is now being attacked as a result. Lately, the North Carolina press has been unrelenting. In fact, one Republican official publicly claimed that Robinson was so damaged, he could lose to Surry County Commissioner Jim Harrell in the general election. I hate to say this, but the runoff is not going well. Be prepared for bad news this Tuesday.
Tabor endorsed the ACLU?
Ron Gunzberger is a liberal Democrat and seems to have a particular hatred for at least this particular black Republican.
No one has denied that the piece Vernon cited was posted on Politics1, probably by someone on the blog.
And it is hardly surprising that some of the other candidates endorsed Foxx after Vernon basically called them all liberals. Did you read Tabor's endorsement of Foxx? He was practically in tears 'cause he thought Vernon had been mean to him, LOL.
Neither of those things is evidence that Foxx is pulling ahead. Vernon's campaign style does make it difficult, IMO, to get from 24% to 50%, although he's helped by Virginia being outside the population center and her attempts to hide her couple of liberal skeletons.
