You could see this coming after yesterday’s story on the Foxx-Sharpe debate.
Journal’s lead editorial:
It should come as no surprise that Foxx is over-reacting to coverage she doesn’t like. She’s not one to take criticism or contrary opinions well. It’s part of the reason she is not well suited to the role of a U.S. representative. It’s the reason she was not an effective state senator in Raleigh, although she would blame her lack of success there on her status in the minority party…
…Now she has agreed to debate Sharpe only at the very end of the campaign, after a lot of people have already cast their votes early. It certainly creates the impression that Foxx has something to hide from the voters, or that she is afraid that Sharpe may show her up in a debate….
….The odds favor Foxx in this race. She’s likely to be returned for another term.
But if she does win, she’ll go to Washington having made herself look silly, naive and cowardly during this campaign.
