True Blue? Business not as usual
By Paul O'Connor
Winston-Salem Journal
RALEIGH - Democrats are getting ready to take control of the U.S. Congress, and business lobbyists are running scared.
In Raleigh, Democrats just strengthened their control of the General Assembly, and business lobbyists are breathing a sigh of relief.
When it comes to red and blue politics, North Carolina is a contradiction. A conservative state that elects Republicans to federal offices, North Carolina also persists in electing Democrats to state offices.
How is that so? The answer is business. A state with a roaring economy has a business community that is more comfortable overall with Democrats in state office than Republicans.
