At least the dems tried to fix it by not running Beverly
How does that happen?Holy shit NC GOP
In 2008, Democrats had controlled the General Assembly for like 125 years. Bev Perdue was a bad candidate, and on a personal level I knew her son, who was a total douche. McCrory was a good mayor, very moderate, pragmatic, not an ideologue in any way, campaigned on shit like transportation. In any event, he lost, in 2010 Pubs took over the GA and immediately went full retard and proved that a Democratic Governor is absolutely imperative, so I would have voted for any D against McCrory in 2012. As it was, he ran against Walter Dalton, who was a good man, would have probably been a good governor, but never stood a chance given the way Perdue went out. Now, somehow, McCrory is on the front line of the culture war, which is about the dumbest thing ever and clearly not a natural place for him to be.
Holy shit NC GOP

As the Executive Director of the North Carolina Republican Party, we offer our sincere and unqualified apology for the mistake made on Twitter last night regarding Gov. Kaine's lapel pin. The tweet was wrong on the facts, wrong in tone and should not have happened.
We would like to offer a sincere apology to Senator Tim Kaine, his family, and his Marine son who is honorably serving overseas.
The members of the staff that were invoked are facing severe internal sanctions and mandatory retraining.
When we learned of our mistake, we immediately took steps to rectify it. There are now procedural measures in place to make sure it does not happen again.
While I did not see or authorize the tweet, as the Director of our organization I take full responsibility for our carelessness.
Again, we are incredibly thankful for the service of Sen. Kaine’s son, and all United States military, past and present, who fight for our freedom.
We demand accountability from our elected officials and our government. Those standards apply do and should apply to us as well.
Good response, actually.
I voted for McCrory. Perdue was a complete loser and bad for the state and the NC Democratic Party had badly discredited itself with serious corruption issues and general incompetence. 2008 was a long time ago and the GOP had not gone full bore bananas at that time. Sure, McCain picked Palin which I think, in retrospect, was the canary in the coal mine of the coming wave of crazy. Things didn't go completely nuts until 2010 and thereafter.
