Today I asked a college student with a Kay Hagan sign to tell me a little bit about what North Carolina's Democratic candidate for Senate stands for. She didn't know much, which is all right: she wasn't from North Carolina originally, and, as far as I can tell, the state races are really only starting to take shape right about now. But I find them more interesting than the national races precisely because there's not a deadly crushing flood of what purports to be information about them pouring out of every pale glowing television screen I see.
One of my favorite blogs is Talking About Politics, and I've been meaning to mention it. It's two longtime insiders from North Carolina politics, Carter Wrenn and Gary Pearce, blogging across the aisle. There is some talk about the national election, but it seems to balance out with all sorts of things I didn't know about the races for NC Senate and NC Governor. Pearce and Wrenn manage to keep their posts short and sweet, with very few clunkers. Today is as good as any to visit: Gary Pearce has an interesting post about what state campaigns are going through right now.
