As obscene as it is knowing who the president elect is, his likely freak show appointees, absolute lack of decency, incessant lying, and greasy charades--this dispatch about Cooper and Stein signals NC remains in good hands despite our contemptible Republican led legislature.

Absolutely on the money. Cooper could easily relate to the folks in Rocky Mount, Nashville or Farmville as well as those in our urban areas. Stein's challenge is to forge relations in our rural areas like Robeson or Bladen Counties, which has gone from blue to red over the last several years. Stein's outreach to rural areas will mitigate the efforts of the North Carolina Republican Party.

I hope Stein and Jeff Jackson can deal with the Republican legislature. They are very sneaky .

Thank you for your perspective. I hadn't thought of it that way since Roy Cooper and Josh Stein have been working together so well and Roy Cooper campaigned hard for Josh Stein, the whole Council for State candidates, and for Legislators. He joked that Josh was the second best NC Attorney General and Jeff Jackson joked that he'd be the 3rd but hoped to win by .1% more that Josh had won by.

While their backgrounds are quite different, the values of Cooper and Stein are very similar indeed. Cooper was a great governor, a tough act to follow. I look forward to Josh's success in this regard.

An excellent article, thanks for writing it. I am looking forward to the new Governor. He has a hard road ahead of him. I will support him all the way.
