Re: Apodaca: No run against Shuler

Dr. Mumpower says a Congressional run is not a prize he seeks. Or maybe he's pulling a Ferd Thompson and wants to be begged...We need Dr. Mumpower to become Mayor of Asheville! The Asheville citizens bucked statewide democrat control recently by demanding another vote for NONpartisan elections which the 'progressive democrats' dont like...it compromises their control. WNC has brought out the CULTURE of CORRUPTION that lurks within the democrat party across our once great state! How did NC EVER allow democrats to secure such a manipulative control over our towns and cities??? Democrat no longer means what you thought...

Strive to be smarter than a democrat!

Bad news for DC Republicans, Good news for Raleigh Republicans

This is a major setback for Republican hopes of taking over the House. Apodaca had the highest name ID of any potential candidate, is a proven fundraiser at the State Senate level, and had the personal financial resources to make up any fundraising advantage the Democrats Union and Trial Lawyer money might create.

With Hunt also ruling out a run for Congress it looks more and more like Shuler/Taylor II which virtually assures Shuler of a second term.

Apodaca's return to the State Senate should help Republican efforts to take that body for the first time since 1896.

McHenry is full of you know what. His staff was quoted in December of 2006 saying that if Heath hadnt already started his reelection campaign he was going to lose.

Does anyone really think Chucky is going to win a rematch? I would put money on him losing by 15 points at a minimum if he ran again.
