I'm with you in NC, Kate, in Carteret.  Rep. Jones is pathetic at voting in the interests of the people in our area.  I seriously doubt that he will lose this year, but hopefully Roger Eaton can give him a good race.  However, Eaton doesn't even have a useful website up yet, no bio, so the commitment looks half-hearted from this end.

The county Dem party in my area is pretty disorganized, as well.  Can't seem to get much going this year.  If I didn't have full-time work and school, I'd be trying to get this county a lot more motivated.  Despite the almost even mix of Dems and Reps, our entire county board is Rep, as are many local positions.

If you haven't heard it yet, check out the ad for Bill Cobey, one of the Rep candidates for NC Governor.  I've got a link to it on my blog.  Makes you believe its a joke....but its not!
