For the record, my wife isn’t voting for Morrow. She’s a moderate conservative just like me but won’t pull the lever for Morrow, Robinson, people like that.

IIRC, you were the one that told your wife about the crazy stuff that Morrow believes. This must mean that the word about Morrow must NOT be getting around to teachers at the public schools. Is this correct? Is the word about Morrow not being spread among public school teachers (from her vantage point)?

Most people just aren’t that political. She learned about Morrow a couple months prior to the election and yes it was me who told her, but that’s hardly surprising to me. The people on this board follow politics as a hobby. Most Americans are not that way.

I will agree that posters on this, a politics board, keep up with politics more than the average person. However, if say you work for US Steel, you would keep up with an effort to buy out US Steel more than some other random acquisition. I can’t see how NC public school teachers are not seeing Morrow as a personal threat.

People from all sectors of life vote explicitly against their own interests all time, because they don’t think it will affect THEM, just the bad people on the other side.
 
This is another instance where the lack of a union hurts. In a state with a teachers union they would be all over this, making sure the teachers were aware of the potential problems and organizing/motivating them to action. I think many teachers who have moved here from union states don’t know where to look for leadership on these issues……because there is none. Teachers aren’t organized.

My wife still gets emails from the teachers unions in Los Angeles and Cleveland with all sorts of information on political developments affecting them and how they can get involved. No such leadership exists in NC.

Which is exactly what the NC GOP wants, and which is why no teachers unions (or other civil service unions) are allowed in NC.

Amen
Sorry for this State where workers think Unions are "bad" I was part the State HR Office for well over 30 years. The one thing that could have really changed Govt stability would have been Unions

Extremely well. Also, anyone even asking that question is missing the point that Morrow is maybe the worst candidate ever to run for office in NC.

I'm glad he did well. But no, I'm not missing that point whatsoever. I know FULL well how horrible a candidate she is. I just didn't see the debate itself and wanted to make sure that Green took good advantage of being the sane, normal candidate and highlighting her ridiculous philosophy and proposals.
