Race Analysis
Rep. Robin Hayes beat teacher Larry Kissell (D) by a few hundred votes in 2006, when Kissell used campaign gimmicks such as a pygmy goat mascot named CAFTA and one day charging a gas station\'s customers a discount on gas, equal to the price when Hayes first took office. This time out, Kissell is raising more money and national Democrats won\'t overlook the suburban Charlotte district, as they did before. Kissell will also reap the benefits of Obama\'s GOTV efforts, especially among the relatively large African American population.
