“Giant rallies do not gain suppoters. Advertisement does. Only committed supports come to rallies, not undecideds and not soft supporters of the opponent who might be swayed.”

I agree. The airways in North Carolina are filled with anti-Trump, anti-Burr, and anti-McCrory ads. All of the ads are negative and most are targeted at women and minorities. They are constructed to stir emotions with the objective of not only getting the target to support Hillary as the nice person, but to generate enough anger to make the person go to the polls.

These ads are not only from the Hillary campaign but also from a number of groups.

I saw my first Trump ad last night. I’ve seen a McCrory ad. No Burr ads. It almost seems like the Republicans are not putting up a rebuttal or fight. Don’t they realize the undecided people watching these ads are getting their news from the biased mainstream media and newspapers? If there is no counter message what they are seeing is the only thing they know.

Burr is invisible and his challenger is a virtual unknown? Why isn’t he criss-crossing the state? http://www.politico.com/story/2016/09/richard-burr-carolina-senate-228297

Larry Sabato put North Carolina back in the Hillary column today and showed Burr as extremely vulnerable. He has McCrory losing his seat as governor to the Dem who has been running some very effective law and order ads.

If Trump loses NC, he likely loses the election. If Burr loses in NC, the GOP likely loses the Senate. For a state this critical I see very little media activity from Trump or the Republicans.
