Candidates Hotlinked on Investors Political Daily Scoreboards: Today’s new Senate and House Investors Political Daily Scoreboards include hotlinks to the websites of candidates in the competitive races.  If you will let your cursor hover over the names of the candidates who are underlined in the Senate and House Investors Political Daily charts, you will see that they are now hotlinked to campaign websites.  This is to facilitate your ability to help the candidates of your choosing in the races still in play in the battle for majority in the state Senate and House.

In the Senate, only candidates in the 13 campaigns in play are hotlinked: the “5 Toss Up races,” the “2 Democrats are Favored” races, and the “6 Republicans are Favored” races.  Open the Senate Investors Political Daily Scoreboard today and go to the website of one of the candidates in a contested race and send them a contribution.

In the House, only candidates in the 30 campaigns in play are hotlinked: the “10 Toss Up races,” the “12 Democrats are Favored” races, and the “8 Republicans are Favored” races.  Open the House Investors Political Daily Scoreboard today and go to the website of one of the candidates in a contested race and give them a hand.

NC Senate and House Scoreboards: Apply the 2010 Late Breaking Trends partisan momentum factor to state legislative races and you will see the following results:  Republicans already have the 26 seats needed for a majority in the North Carolina Senate; Democrats have 19.  There are 5 seats in the tossup category.

Republicans have 59 of the 61 seats needed to have a majority in the North Carolina House of Representatives; Democrats have 51 seats.  There are 10 seats in the tossup column.

Latest developments in state Senate and House races:

• NC House Republicans now have 30 uncontested seats in their quest for a 61-seat majority.  Kevin Furr, D-Stanly, has been sent a “Notice of Termination of Active Status” from the SBOE.  Furr filed against Rep. Justin Burr, R-Stanly.
• The SBOE notice stipulates that Furr can no longer spend a penny on his campaign legally; nor can he raise a penny legally.  Regardless, Furr could not have defeated Burr in this Republican stronghold.

• In other NC House news, a new poll by the Carolina Strategy Group shows that an incumbent Alice Graham Underhill, D-Craven, is down by 15 points in her race.
• Graham’s GOP challenger, Norm Sanderson, is listed as the likely winner in the NC House Investors Political Daily report.  Take a look at the full House report here.
• Another poll released last week by the Carolina Opinion Survey firm shows that six-term incumbent Democratic Rep. Marian McLawhorn leads Republican challenger Stan Larson by 44 percent to 39 percent.  McLawhorn, from Pitt County, cannot take that lead for granted in a district where 55% of the Unaffiliated voters say they prefer a Republican to represent them in the NC House to only 19% who say they prefer a Democrat.
• McLawhorn is “Favored” to win on today’s Investors Political Daily House chart.
• On the Senate side: Democratic three-term incumbent state Sen. Joe Sam Queen, D-Haywood, is trailing in his re-election bid so says the Carolina Strategy Group.
• GOP challenger Ralph Hise, Mayor of Spruce Pine, leads 50 percent to 38 percent, according to the poll for District 47.  The district is a GOP-leaning district made up of Avery, Madison, McDowell, Mitchell and Yancey Counties, and a part of Haywood County.  Hise is “Favored” to win on today’s Investors Political Daily Senate chart.
• In Senate District 48, GOP challenger Dan Soucek leads two-term incumbent Democratic Sen. Steve Goss 48 percent to 41 percent among registered voters according to the latest Civitas/Survey USA poll.  District 45 is the most Republican district in the Senate that is held by a Democrat.  Soucek is “Favored” on the Investors Political Daily Senate chart.
• Both Goss and Soucek, a small business owner, are from Watauga County.
• And, in Senate District 9, the WILMINGTON STAR-NEWS reports that Jim Leutze, the Democratic candidate for the New Hanover County seat held by retiring Sen. Julia Boseman, will not be getting the financial support of the state Democratic Party.
• Leutze says that party leaders told him that they are helping at-risk incumbents and that they believed he could beat GOP nominee Thom Goolsby without their money.  “They said they thought I didn’t need the money as much as others did,” Leutze said Friday.

Well, there you have it.  September 20, 2010.  According to Investors Political Daily, the GOP is well positioned to win the majority in both the NC Senate and House in November.
