We've got two here, NC House Speaker Jim Black, a Democrat tainted by years of scandal, leads his challenger by seven votes. And, Robin Hayes, Republican US House Representative from district 8, leads his challenger by less than 300. Neither have been conceded.

I don't ever recall an election where so many races were so tight. Oh sure, there's always one or two somewhere that are hanging by a chad, but nothing like this.

Just imagine the landslide the Republicans could have had if they had been even the slightest willing to govern the way we sent them there to govern!

It really sickens me how nice the Dems are being now that they've gotten their power back to some extent. After all the vitriol, poison, lies, etc. they've spewed for 12 years now, all the obstructionism they've practiced, and now they come smiling to the table like they've been the best friends we've ever had.

I agree with Michael Medved, there has got to be some way to regulate who can be on the ballot as a third, or fourth, or etc. party. I don't want to deny anyone their right to run for office, but there's got to be a way to keep them from doing it just to play the spoiler.

Maybe the answer would be that if a candidate didn't get a certain precentage of the votes cast then that candidate vote's would be split evenly among the other candidates. Just a though.
