Instead of being so high and mighty about who NC sends to the Senate, you might want to consider who Michigan sends.
And while your at it, consider the House delegation.
And while you at it, consider those electoral votes for Clinton and Gore.
I'm not high and mighty on NC, just making observations. As far as Michigan is concerned I'm doing all I can to help change things by getting involved helping local candidates. As far as the Michigan Senate race, it appears that the Michigan GOP goes for the candidates that have "earned" the run rather than whether they are capable of winning the seat or not. This mentality will more than likely lose us the Governorship too. But I've volunteered to help. That's all I can do.
