Two to watch in 2014: Crisco in NC-02, White in NC-07

The Wilmington Star News has an item about a coalition of Republicans from “all across Eastern North Carolina” supporting the reelection of Seventh District congressman Mike McIntyre (D). Funny. NCGOP HQ tells those of us on the right, out here in the grassroots, to be…
Arguing with idiots: Gas Prices Edition
