State GOP Chairman Tom Fetzer said Tuesday's election results are good news for Republicans.

"I think the pendulum is turning back as it always does," Fetzer said in an interview with reporters and editors of The News & Observer. "I think there is a wave cresting right now that bodes well for Republicans."

Fetzer said Tuesday's elections, in which Republicans captured the governorships of Virginia and New Jersey, reminded him of the run up to the 1994 elections which turned into a national GOP landslide led by Newt Gingrich, reports Rob Christensen.

Fetzer said the N.C. Republican Party would focus on the re-election of U.S. Sen. Richard Burr and winning control of at least one chamber in the state legislature during the 2010 mid-term election. He said the key issues will be ending the "culture of corruption" in Raleigh and better management of taxpayer's money.

The truth is, McCrory did his best to make Charlotte seem like part of another country. Pat-lite Lassiter would have been even worse.

Whether republicannots can perform in NC remains to be seen...they have to grow some backbone as conservatives first...its tought to overcome the most democrackkk corrupted state in the country in a year or two...

I say we OUTLAW democrackkks AND republicannots and TAKE BACK OUR COUNTRY from the two EVIL forces that have stolen it! Mandate that every candidate MUST run UNaffiliated, and cannot accept money from anyone who cannot vote for them!
