While I think her heart may be in the right place, I still don't believe that Senator Foxx is the answer for the 5th District of North Carolina. She has taken $ from liberal associations and doesn't live in the epicenter of this district (Winston-Salem surrounding area). Robinson's criticism of her is accurate. As I stated on a prior post, there's a candidate with legislative/past political experience in this race outside of Foxx and Robinson--Ed Powell. He has the resume second to none in this race. I have seen him speak and have read about him in a Davie Enterprise-Record article and he is a Davie County native that is right for the job. Senator Foxx may mean well, but she is merely banking on the fact that she has represented a large area of the district to get her elected. I also believe that Ed "Bankrupt" Broyhill's entrance into this race will significantly hurt her support in the western areas. This is not a State Senator race, it's for a much higher position. Senator Foxx is doing just fine as a State Senator--she should remain there as one.

Okay, I got dibs since I'm in this district: "paragraphs are our friends."
That was in the Courier?? Gee, the most political that pamphlet usually gets is in discussions about Village Council meetings!
I just love how everybody in this race are trying to be the ________ Jesse Helms (multiple choice answer, fill in the blank with your favorite adjective -- it's like Mad Libs). At least you've got about five candidates trying to "out conservative" each other.
Even Jay Helvey is peppering the local Rush Show radio spots with "And now a conservative minute, with Jay Helvey." And he's the carpetbagger liberal by comparison (the northern Jesse Helms?).

What's their views on the 2nd Amendment.
Robinson(who I like the best) stood up for it in the past when it counted. Have any others?
