Lots of Money Pouring into Four State Senate Races
The high-dollar campaigns, which result in campaign ads being dropped in mailboxes and numerous television ads, are primarily in seats currently held by Democrats, including the 46th District (Cleveland and Rutherford counties), the 43rd District (Gaston County), the 5th District (Greene, Pitt and Wayne counties) and the 24th District (Alamance and Caswell counties).
I do think that the Republicans will pick up the 46th District Senate seat. I don’t think that Foriest is going to lose in the 24th. I am surprised that the Republicans are making such a concerted effort to knock of David Hoyle in the 43rd. While that is a heavily Republican district Hoyle has a conservative voting record and I don’t think he is the least bit vulnerable.
