If the Fourth District congressional seat in North Carolina is really in play, then you can expect the Republicans to gain at least 100 seats in Congress on Nov. 2. The conventional wisdom for years has been that the friendly, gerrymandered district has insulated incumbent Democrat David Price from any serious challenge, but this is not a conventional year.
Erick Erickson of Red State says the race, with B.J. Lawson (right) as the GOP challenge, is within the margin of error, something almost unheard of for a Price challenger:
I’ve been saying for a while that there are congressional districts out there that’ll flip to the GOP in 30 days that were not even on the radar.
Put NC–4 on the radar. Democrat Congressman David Price is running against Dr. B. J. Lawson who is giving Price a run for his money.
Several polls have come out in the past couple of weeks showing the race within points and well inside the margin of error.
Lawson is also trying to reach a goal of $225,000.00 in cash raised as of today and has $5,000.00 to go. This is one of those seats we need to take to take back the House.
Lawson is endorsed by FreedomWorks and others. He looks like a pretty solid guy.
I still think it’s a long shot, but it would make for a fun night if this one flips.
