Campbell: Voters should brace for ugliness to come
The May 8 primary elections promise contrasts, excitement and perhaps some revelations. Many races drew large fields of candidates but far too many legislative matches had little or no opposition. What should we have expected when the filing deadline fell on Leap Day?
It’s a shame most of the interest in our presidential primary might come from the seven Libertarians on the ballot. President Barack Obama is unopposed and even with four big name Republicans the ultimate nominee will probably be determined before we vote.
At least four congressional contests are worthy of attention; three are open seats and redrawn district lines present new opportunities in others. U.S. Rep. Sue Myrick announced she was retiring from her 9th Congressional District seat and it should be fun to watch the 11 Republicans who signed up, including a former sheriff, a former legislator, an incumbent legislator, a city council member, a Tea Party activist and a pastor-skydiver. Democratic U.S. Rep. Heath Shuler decided to give up his 11th Congressional District seat after lawmakers made it the most Republican leaning district in the state. Three Democrats and eight Republicans are in the race. U.S. Rep. Brad Miller was redistricted out of his 13th Congressional District seat and two Democrats and three Republicans will wage battle, including the former Eastern District U.S. Attorney, the chairman of the Wake Commissioners and the 2010 GOP nominee. The makeup of our congressional delegation, currently seven Democrats and six Republicans, will likely become nine or 10 Republicans in Washington when November’s results are final.
