Hagan and Perdue are poised to deliver blow-outs. McCrory vs. Smith is the only race in doubt here.
Can anyone tell me if Purdue is our best bet to win here? From the little I’ve read on this race we have at least a slight advantage in the general election considering Democratic strength at the state and local level.
Also to answer the question above the governor is currently a Democrat and Perdue is likely to hold the race. If the Republicans nominate Smith it is going to be pretty safe. McCrory would probably make it a race but even with him I think this will be pretty easy. MO and IN are most likely to flip and Washington will be harder to hold although I’m not worried there either.
If the vote leader does not win a majority (<50%), will there be a run-off election?
