Mackey Unbeatable? I Hope Not
Tanya Jameson who writes for the Charlotte Observer posted a column today on her blog entitled “Nick Mackey Looking Unbeatable” in which she lavished praised for the ethically challenged candidate and claimed that “he looked brilliant last night.” I didn’t see the debate and Mackey may very well have come off seemingly sharp and articulate. Ms Jameson is most certainly entitled to her opinion, but I find it unfortunate that she seems to disregard the always lengthening list of Mr. Mackey’s past indiscretions.
I imagine come Election Day Mackey probably will win just because of the demographics and voter trends of that particular House District. The State Assembly has purged itself of a few bad eggs over the last few years and now the voters are preparing to roll one right back in through the door. We can only hope that egg cracks before it reaches the threshold.
The main problem that I see is that Mackey’s opponent, Dempsey Miller, appears to be running no kind of campaign. He has no website. I can’t find a thing about him, other than he’s a real estate agent.
If the NCGOP had its stuff together, this would be a very good chance for a pick up. Looks like they passed on it.
Yep, I agree. I have been able to find absolutely nothing on Miller. He’s MIA.
After I posted that, I did find Miller’s campaign website through his LinekdIn profile. Even Project Vote Smart and the GOP websites don’t have it listed.

Also, I guess Mackey isn’t trying for much on the internet either. Here’s his website:
