That’s the dilemma Democrats here – from the legislature to the Senate – will face next year.
Traditional pro-business Democrats – like the current Senate leadership – will argue that the path to victory is the same here as it’s been since 1976: down the middle of the road.
Younger, more liberal Democrats will say no, the party must excite the young voters and minority voters who carried North Carolina
My sense is that, right or not, the party is headed left.
