McDowell now uncontested in North Carolina House race... [View all]
This discussion thread was locked by littlemissmartypants (a host of the North Carolina group).
But Walker said he won’t request a runoff, meaning that McDowell won the primary outright and almost assuredly will be the next 6th District representative, since he will face no Democratic opposition this fall.
Bold emphasis is mine, not AP's.
Okay... Please help me out here. How is it that the Democratic Party can't even put up a candidate in all of North Carolina's congressional districts? Yes I know the R's have gerrymandered the map but having volunteered in the past for the UKs Liberal Democrats I know that to even to stand a chance of winning, first you must enter the race. You cannot win races you don't enter. To me, it appears that the Democratic Party has given up competing.
So what's going on?
