Louis Jacobson, writing for Governing magazine, handicaps key legislative races around the country, including in North Carolina. His prediction:
In this purple-to-red Southern state where the Democrats control the governorship and both chambers of the legislature, Democrats are arguably overrepresented in state government. So Republicans can expect gains in 2010, especially in the state Senate, where Democratic turnover is high. Both chambers lean Democratic, with the Senate more likely to flip, but these ratings could well shift in the GOP’s direction by fall.
