Bully Pulpit

Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

If Election Day Were Today

If today were Election Day, it would be a disaster for the Democrats. The damage would extend all the way down the ballot here in North Carolina.

RALEIGH (By John Hood, Carolina Journal Online) – If today were Election Day, it would be a disaster for the Democrats.

The Republican Party would retake control of the U.S. House of Representatives, with seats to spare, including the 8th District here in North Carolina and possibly two or three more. In the U.S. Senate, the GOP would win a net gain of eight seats, and possibly the two more needed for a majority in that chamber.

Of the 37 gubernatorial contests on the ballot this year, Republicans would win most of the competitive races – keeping the top jobs in California, Texas, Florida, and Georgia while picking up other big states such as Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, and Illinois. The GOP would also win as many as 500 legislative seats across the country, flipping a dozen or more chambers from Democratic to Republican – including both houses of the North Carolina General Assembly.
