Carl Mumpower is back in the race. He pulled out citing principle–his belief that the GOP had lost its way. He said that he would get back in if enough county Republican parties came out in favor of basic conservative principles, and they did.

However, he is running with almost no money in his war chest. After seeing that this comment was running absurdly long, I wrote the situation up quickly in a Diary entry so check that out for more on Mumpower.

The seat Shuler holds had been in GOP hands for a long time, and still would be had it not been for an incredibly incompetent incumbent gaff. It has been rated safe for the Dems in this election…but that might have changed now.

If true, there’s really no point on publicizing him now – we need to focus on targets that can actually be beaten this year.
