Campaign 2014: Here come the judges!
North Carolina saw a more aggressive than usual Supreme Court election in 2012 with the reelection of Justice Paul Newby(R). Well-placed sources tell me that jockeying for the 2014 NC Supreme Court races is already underway. State Appeals Court Judge — and Republican —…
