GOP Senate? T'ain't so, says Rand

Senate Majority Leader Tony Rand, D-Cumberland, takes issue with analyst John Davis' projection that Republicans will take over the state Senate after the Nov. 4 election ballots are counted. Democrats' polling numbers show no such shift, he said, though he declined to release poll findings.
"Our numbers show an entirely different story," he said. "We have been at this a right long time and with a high degree of success. I don't know where he gets his numbers but it looks like a splendid year for Democrats."
Rand points out that Democrats who are running in districts that appear to favor Republicans have won a number of those races in past elections. "We think we've done a good job protecting our turf and a good job taking some of theirs," he added.
Rand said he was concerned about close races, but thought when the election is over, Democrats would wind up "one over or one under, if I was a gambling man." Democrats currently enjoy a 31-19 advantage in the Senate.

Should the Democratic Party have an extra advantage in the General Assembly through control of North Carolina writers and the journalism profession? Is it true that the Democratic Party and The News & Observer of Raleigh have an arrangement by which a writer's work must be transferred to Democratic legislative leaders before it can be published in a newspaper or magazine?

Regulation of the press is of course prohibited both by the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and the Declaration of Rights of the N.C. Constitution. But does the Democratic Party still have the expectation of being able to regulate the work of writers and journalists in North Carolina so as to pressure them to either work for the advance of Democratic Party political candidates or not work at all?

These are really questions for the Raleigh political and media establishments to clarify because outright partisan regulation of journalists and the press is not a part of newspaper management traditions in other sections of the Old North State.
