Too many adds that bash their opponent can make the public look at their bashing as desperation.

As a 28 year UPS employee, I can tell you that Bob Ethridge always used to come and speak to the employess, shake hands and all that every year. THEN, about 5 years ago he stopped coming He didn't return repeated phone calls or invitations to speak to the employees.THAT's why he got FIRED! He lost track of what is important, his constituents at home. Too much time in Washington!

No...I am not a staunched democrat... however, this documentary brought about the awareness that we all need to be reminded of.... Does our vote really count??? Who are the American's for Job Security... Let's be realistic.....WRAL's timing on this issue was right on point for the new Red and Blue regime.... This was an honest, fair and balanced report.... Thank you David....

Let me get this right. I completely understand that the aim of this "documentary/editorial" is to display Capital Broadcastings/WRAL's dislike of a recently constitutionally upheld law regarding campaign financing. It would be refreshing if they would not veil their political leanings under the documentary label. Both candidates received lots of monies from many unidentified groups. the reality is that Etheridge lost because of his positions and Ellmers won because of Etheridge's positions. She will also lose if her positions do not represent her district. WRAL should stick to reporting what they hear on the Raleigh/Durham police scanner, the weather, the sports and some interesting Tarheel Travellers facts. Finally, tommyaugustine84, on behalf of my uneducated Southern Baptist North Carolinian's let me just say, "bless your little heart". God bless.

All of you who think this is about Ethridge are ether dumb or deaf. The center peice to this documentary was about the recent changes in campaign finance. I'm sure if Ethridge won with the help of this phantom organization, then all you uneducated-southern-baptist-"Republicans" would be screaming for Sarah Palin to come down to Raleigh and cry about it for you.

As a citizen of the 2nd district, I voted for Elmers because of the liberal voting record of Bob Etheridge...not because of any TV ad or political contribution. How arrogant and ignorant of Etheridge and WRAL to imply he lost the election because of outside funding. If outside contributions are such a concern, why didn't we hear about them in the Helms/Hunt election years ago when Hunt was bombarded with money from the liberal California entertainment industry? Etheridge lost the votes and respect of district 2 voters. If WRAL continues their one-sided 'news' reporting, they will also lose district 2 viewers...I've already switched my TV to WTVD!!

MR. Etherage has had is 30 Min. policital add. When will you do a 30 Min. policatal add for Congresswoman Elmers?

I watched the "documentary" on line yesterday and wanted to comment but after reading the postings it seems everyone has the same opinion it has to be 10 to 1 that Ethridge was not "harmed" by the outside interests.

After Obamacare I called Ethridge and said I would now do everything I could the see that he was not re-elected never thinking it could actually happen.

When your congressman's office tells you that all "town hall" meeting are private and closed you know you have a problem.

I started watching this special report and became so disgusted with the bias of the WRAL reporter that I turned it off midway through the story. Isn't it funny that Etheridge received large contributions from Labor Unions who do not represent the 2nd district citizens, yet this did not seem to be an issue for WRAL. Bottom line, Etheridge lost the election because he was more interested in representing the left-wing of the democrat party than the largely conservative 2nd district. I pleaded with him NOT to support Obamacare; but, to go slowly and READ THE BILL before voting for it. He ignored the will of the people of the 2nd district and, therefore, lost the election to a lady who pledges to represent US.

Where the money came from is not the issue in this election. Etheridge lost touch with the constituants. He sided with obama and pelosi on all issues and that is what cost him the election. The people of NC elected someone else because etheridge does not represent the majority.
