I'm a conservative.  I lived in NC for 10 years and he was our senator.  He said about Chapel Hill: "put up a 10' fence with razor wire all around it and call it a liberal zoo".
I don't know about that.  I DO know that the hottest chicks on the planet are there.  You know--5-10", thin, long curly hair, gorgeous.
Jesse was ok.  I think he was way TOO consevative, and that rubbed most people the wrong way.  On national issues, he was pretty good, same for international.  His whole homophobic fears were a bit strange.  He did a good job on helping the state, and making sure we got our due on federal highway and other money.
As a NC resident, I gave him a B.
