It is going to be an interesting election cycle culminating with the mid term elections in November. Following up on my new found interest in politics that began with the dual primary race for the 08 Presidential election, I am going to watch these Senate races with interest.
An introduction:
Right now there are 36 seats in play. This includes incumbents and Senators who are retiring.

A twofer!
Another in a long line on why I hate unions.
See, where I work, if you do well you get bigger raises, bigger bonuses and if you do well over the long haul, you get promoted. On the other hand, if you don’t exceed you may not get fired, but you won’t reap the rewards of the high achievers. Then again, if you continue to produce so marginally that the firm finds itself better off without your services, you will, in fact, eventually be promoted; to customer. In other words, the company will no longer employ you.

The school board here in Wake County was elected recently with a pretty strong message from the public: We Don’t Like the Way Things Are!
With 4 seats up for grabs, a new coalition was formed. Joining Ron Margiota are 4 new board members. And they have two agendas:
1. End Year Round Schools.
2. End the Diversity program.
