Charlotte elects Democratic mayor

Sorry about the delay, folks. I spent most of the evening battling browser lock. Anyway...

The polls in much of the country are closed now, and I've got a result in that I didn't even see coming: Charlotte (North Carolina's largest city) has elected a Democratic mayor. After a string of right-wing Republicans, this is the first Democratic mayor Charlotte has had in 22 years.

Are the Republicans even still a party in any city with over 300,000 people?

If Sue Myrick wasn't living, she'd be spinning in her grave.
