Check this out... Virginia Foxx is justbarely leading Roy Carter in the 5th District Congressional race:
The closest Congressional district in the state is the 5th, where Virginia Foxx leads Roy Carter 48-46. I really hope the DCCC and other folks take the pick up opportunity in this district seriously. There are races on the Red to Blue list that based on the data I've seen are less winnable than this one. Carter is a uniquely appealing candidate and has the opportunity to pull off the same kind of shocker Larry Kissell almost did in 2006 if he gets the resources he needs to run the strongest campaign possible.
It is hugely, insanely important that Carter win this race and send Foxx back to her hole. If you haven't yet had the chance to meet Carter - first of all, how's that possible? The guy is everywhere - you're missing out. He's a lifelong professional educator and one of the nicest people I've ever met. Unlike Foxx, a Bush-kissing, hurricane-victim-ignoring, professional politician with a shady past and a mean streak, Carter was moved to run for office out of a genuine desire to bring the concerns of ordinary North Carolinians to Washington. Isn't that what our system is supposed to be about?
UPDATE: And there's this...Junior Johnson endorses Roy Carter.

Ever seen "Last American Hero?" Classic. That movie does more justice to stock-car racing heritage than the over the top 80's movies like 'days of blunder' and stroker ace, although saying 'stroker ace' is fun too.
Go Coach!
