Oh so you receive local NC news in your state as well? What cable company do you have? There were names on the ballot in the primaries but months before the election, the local news was only reporting a race on the Democratic side. It was a forgone conclusion that this woman was going to be the Republican candidate because the RNC was already paying for her ads
What about this do you not understand? Do you think that an individual is so concerned about a state that he or she would just up and run for an election in a state they hadn't visited in over 30 years? Worse yet, in the case of Hillary, hadn't lived in until needing a place to run for office? If Hillary was so concerned why didn't she run in Arkansas, where she lived before the race? How about Dole? Why didn't she run where her husband had been Senator for so many years? The fact is that the national committees are running the Senate races and using the valid representation of the citizens of the respective states as some power game to gain the upper hand in national politics
