Typical bias fron the News & Observer. It would be more accurate to say:
The compressed election schedule was brought about by gerrymandering instituted and perpetuated by Democrats, who chose to ignore precedent-setting court decisions in other states, and who by continued frivolous legal maneuvers attempted to stall the inevitable decision so as to conduct the 2002 elections under blatantly illegal apportionment.
Well, let that rag get their cheap shots in. Justice has been served, gerrymandering has been dealt a mortal blow, and all that remains is for the GOP's supporters to work hard between now and November. With Elizabeth Dole at the top of the ticket, we should be favored to take back the N.C. House, and I believe we have a fighting chance to take the State Senate, too. It's vitally important that we do so, because the House and Senate districts are applicable only for this year's election. The House and Senate elected in November will draw the districts which will be in place through the elections of 2010. Let's roll!
1) You want to be added to my North Carolina ping-list.
2) You no longer want to be included in this North Carolina ping-list.
