In addition to having a Republican administration in NC for the first time since reconstruction I hope to see gains in the US House Representatives from NC. I fully expect the district I live in to return to R control since Heath Shuler decided not to run for re election.

There have been two Republican governors in North Carolina since 1973. James E. Holshouser (1973-1977) and James G. Martin (1985-1993). The recent development that I believe was a first since reconstruction was the Republican takeover in the State legislature.

It will be nice to have a Republican governor and legislature for 2013. And hopefully McCrory will help Romney in NC.

You not counting Holshouser or Jim Martin ?

You may intend, "Republican controlled government" -- although one could argue that neither Holshouser and Martin could really change the administration in a single term given the entrenched, hostile bureaucracy in place and the limits placed on the power of the governorship.

Your good neighbor, South Carolina, kicked out every rat conresscritter from the state’s delegation in the 2010 election except the racist commie jim clyburn. Every rat holding state-wide office was also thrown out. Best wishes in carrying out your effort to cleanse the good state of North Carolina of filthy, commie rats.
