Carolina Purple?

With Jesse Helms out of office in North Carolina and Marilyn Musgrave a Colorado rising star, I must begin to more seriously contemplate a move from the Rocky Mountain West back to my Old North State home. If Bob Novack is to be believed -- a dicey proposition, to be sure -- then the possibility of a blue Carolina can only be further inducement to an eventual move.

What say you, residents of The Turpentine State? Is Bob blowing hot air as he is wont to do? Or is he on to something?
