No surprises so far…..N&R endorses Sen. Kay Hagan in the Senate race;
Winston-Salem Journal endorses Democrat Josh Brannon over incumbent Rep. Virginia Foxx in the 5th District Congressional race:
But as limited as his chances are, we believe Brannon could bring fresh ideas to Washington that Foxx has not. We freely acknowledge that Foxx has the experience edge over Brannon: years of service in the state legislature, then several terms in Congress. Experience is good and needed – if it’s applied right.
We’ve occasionally praised Foxx, such as in her efforts to help our military veterans. But for too many years in Congress, she has been a voice of negativity, a roadblock to political compromise.
We don’t agree with Brannon on all his stances – his platform on income equality is unrealistic – but we like his emphasis on education and equality.
I personally can’t remember a time when the Journal has praised Foxx, but if they say so I believe them.
