Nate Silver’s FiveThirtyEight reports:

  Here’s a hard truth about what it will take to flip this Senate seat: North Carolina doesn’t do landslides. Multiple recent polls say our race is down to single digits. Major election forecasters have rated our race a “toss-up.” Plus, Nate Silver’s FiveThirtyEight released an analys…

Serious trouble

  Just a few days ago, Donald Trump came back to North Carolina for his sixth visit during this race — and there’s no doubt in my mind he’ll return before Election Day. But before I get too deep in the weeds here, I have to ask: Can you donate $6 to Cal Cunningham’s campaign for U.S. …
