Foxx has it locked
Congratulations, Virginia Foxx, on your re-election to Congress.
I don't blame Winston-Salem Mayor Allen Joines for declining to challenge the first-term Republican. He had an uphill fight in the conservative district. The fact is, most congressional districts are safe for incumbents. But he certainly disappointed Democrats, who thought North Carolina's 5th District offered a rare opportunity for them to pick up a seat.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has been hammering Fox for months, trying to soften her up for the campaign -- not very effectively, obviously.
Now, without a candidate of Allen Joines' stature, there won't be much of a campaign.

Doug! It is too early to give congrats! It ain't over until the Fat lady sings! Look at the facts known to us at the moment.
"I don't blame Winston-Salem Mayor Allen Joines for declining to challenge"
The Mayor should demand a refund from the polling group that convince him that 70 % of the district voted for Bush in 2004.. This is 2006?
"The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has been hammering Fox for months, trying to soften her up for the campaign -- not very effectively, obviously."
If the repub Hammer had been doing it, Foxx and the Hammer would have been sharing the same diversity cell together!
"Now, without a candidate of Allen Joines' stature, there won't be much of a campaign."
It will be barn burner again if Brother Vernon drops his 10 ton block of statue commandments on Foxx head and runs as a repentance democrat in a dress. I knew I shouldn't have eated that subway special sandwich and nap with that dream.

Connie, if you think Vernon Robinson will run as a Dem, you may be the victim of a spoiled potato or an undigested bit of beef.

Doug! You might be right! I fell asleep during the Supreme Court Hearing when the next to be judge said he couldn't remember what secret frat club he belong to in college and couldn't understand why he listed it on his resume to join the justice department as a lawyer in the civil rights division.
At that point! I was jar to wake when a women was crying and sniffing in the front row of the hearing behind the judge. I later learn that she had just found out that the judge hated Godfather pizza Italy style after all of their years being marry when the tough grilling from Senator Kenndy was reveal in the secret memo's from the secret frat club at college.
Now you might understand why brother Vernon just might starting eating at Godfathers in the future, if a judge can get away with that excuse. zzzzzzzzz
