I've predicted Hagan retains her seat. Her ads are effective and often. Primarily 'tax breaks for the rich', stopped teacher pay raises, environmental issues.
Tillis' ads 'she voted with Obama 96% of the time'.And not often.

At what point are people finally going to accept that voting the GOP-E as the "lesser of two evils" does exactly NOTHING for the country

The majority in the House and Senate picks the committees, majorities, which affects what bills even get considered.
A huge advantage even if the members are GOP-E. Just one reason to hold your nose and vote .

I didn't vote for Tillis in the primary but will in the general.

Unless the GOP candidate is as liberal as Lincoln Chaffee, and that's not likely, any GOP candidate is better than a dim.

I am sorely afraid that you are quite correct. I was a rather quiet Brannon supporter. Vote for Tillis because he’s the only one who can win, THEY said. No other candidate has any credibility, THEY said. The other candidates have no political experience and will wind up as lightening rods to be exploited by Hagan, THEY said. Tillis has the organization for a state-wide race and has access to resources, THEY said.

WE said Tillis is an establishment pro-amnesty RINO who is better at making back room deals than fighting for Conservative principles in a tough campaign. WE said Hagan would eat his lunch because he would run like Romney, and allow himself to be defined by Hagan early through negative ads.

What are THEY saying now? WE can only shake our heads and state the obvious: THEY had their head up their various asses, did not know what the HELL they were talking about and that WE TOLD YOU SO, DAMN IT!

Small consolation. I am so weary of fools.
