NC GOP has strong tail winds
NC GOP has strong tail winds, Charlotte Observer, News & Observer, Aug. 27, 2012. The North Carolina Republican delegation arrived at the GOP national convention this weekend with a tailwind of its own that had nothing to do with Tropical Storm Isaac. Andy Taylor, a political scientist at NC State University, said if current trends hold, it could reshape Tar Heel politics. “We are considered by Southern standards a fairly purple state, which is a way of saying a fairly Democratic state, given the large gains the Republicans have made (across the South),” Taylor said.
