Who do you like?
Dang, I was afraid someone was going to ask that.
Down here southeast of Charlotte, we get almost no news on the District 5 race (parts of Winston-Salem, and a chunk of the Blue Ridge Mountains and their foothills, for those who don't know, and a safe GOP seat). State Senator Virginia Foxx and Mr. Robinson are the only two I have much familiarity with, and of the two, I'd prefer Ms. Foxx. I've seen accusations of RINOism, but based on her voting record and her declared positions, I don't find them credible.
Frankly, Robinson seems to be getting the most press and the most buzz just because he's black -- the novelty of a black Republican is attractive to some, I suppose. I find him a bit overbearing, and certainly this silly stunt doesn't elevate his stature in my eyes.
I haven't heard too much positive about Ed Broyhill; evidently, the genes have thinned out in that GOP dynasty. And I know nothing about Jay Helvey, other than that he only recently moved back to NC, and that he's largely self-financing his campaign -- neither of these disqualifies him, but they don't make me want to jump on his bandwagon.
So I'm undecided here, as I am on the Gubernatorial primary. There's something about Robinson that rubs me wrong, but I'll keep an open mind.
