One Year

A year is a long time in politics. One year ago:
  • Barack Obama was a colossus, a superstar who had transformed politics
  • Bev Perdue was about to enjoy a (short) honeymoon
  • The clouds over Mike Easley were just gathering
  • Tony Rand was ready for another turn as second-in-command of the Senate
  • Wake County Democrats were celebrating winning control of the county commissioners.
You know what happened next – and why Republicans are confident, even cocky.
 
But they should wish the 2010 elections were today. And Democrats should be glad they’re 10 months away.
