Key State and Federal Races to Watch in 2010
Thirty legislative races to decide which party controls the General Assembly
RALEIGH (By David N. Bass, Carolina Journal Online) — With national polls pointing to a tsunami of anti-incumbent sentiment, the disruption also can be felt at the state level as the general election season gets underway in the Tar Heel State.
For months, pundits have compared this year’s midterm elections to 1994, when Republicans retook Congress and captured the North Carolina House for the first time in a century. In recent weeks, political prognosticators have firmed up their predictions that an equivalent surge is in the mix for Nov. 2.
Republicans need a net gain of 39 seats in the U.S. House and 10 seats in the U.S. Senate to take control. The Cook Political Report now projects at least a 40-seat pickup for the GOP in the House, and seven to nine seats in the Senate.
