Dems Eye NORTH CAROLINA Senate Flip

Bloomberg says former Governor Roy Cooper is expected to beat Michael Whatley in North Carolina, which means Democrats are booking the victory party before anyone counts ballots. Pappas tells the Guardian, "I take nothing for granted." Smart man. Nobody in a Senate race has ever meant that. The Cook Political Report moved New Hampshire's open seat from toss-up to lean Democrat in early October, with Pappas facing John Sununu. A University of New Hampshire poll puts Trump's approval in the state at 32%, which the press will read aloud like a weather alert. Democrats have run out of policy and settled on the gas pump as their best exhibit, blaming rising gas and heating-oil costs tied to the Iran war. Energy independence would shorten that argument. Noted. Filed. Ignored.
