The Fetzer Factor

North Carolina Republicans have an asset this year Democrats don’t have: Tom Fetzer.
 
Fetzer is travelling around the state like a heat-seeking missile. His attacks on Governor Perdue make headlines week after week.
 
Democratic Chair David Young is a stark contrast. He’s clearly not comfortable playing the role of political hit man.
 
Unlike Fetzer, who is a total political animal, Young has other things going on in his life: his business, a young family and the UNC Board of Governors. Plus he lives in Asheville.
 
As the campaign goes on and Fetzer goes on and on, some Democrats may get restive – and start calling for Young to speak up and lash out.
