The late speaker of the House in the U.S. Congress Thomas “Tip” O’Neill once said “All politics is local,” and with that we will turn some of our political blogging to the local scene here in our state of North Carolina. We’ve got some interesting races going on; one in particular is the Senate race between incumbent Richard Burr and NC Secretary of State Elaine Marshall. There is also the congressional race in the 2nd district pitting Democrat Bob Etheridge against Republican Renee Ellmers. The third and final televised debate between Burr and Marshall was hosted by UNC-TV on yesterday.
