I'd say Foxx has little chance of winning. While Robinson's adds were a tad on the ugly side (I have come to develop a strong distaste for local politics), I doubt he loses this one.

Foxx did better than she otherwise would because several candidates split the eastern side of the district, while Foxx was the only candidate from the western end. She drew the vast majority of her support from that area (where she currently serves). She hasn't demonstrated support from outside of her geographic base and now there's nobody to dilute Vernon's support.

When I met him (at the NC homeschool convention) he said it was "a four way race for second place" behind Broyhill. Instead, he outperformed expectations (we weren't sure he would even make the runoff).

Foxx should drop out for the good of the party. This is just a waste of time and resources.

Ugly? Please explain in detail. Seems you are mistaking bold self-promotion and satire for something else entirely.
