McCrory acknowledges that he has run up against an unusual political phenomenon: Opinion polls put him well ahead in the race to become North Carolina governor in November but, on election day, Obama’s supporters buried his bid.
“It was an emotional commitment that was rare to see in politics,” he said.
“The only area where race played a major factor was in getting out the African-American vote. A recent survey came out that he got 100 percent of the African-American women vote [in North Carolina]. That’s just unheard of. That means I got none.”
McCrory said he had never been to the Excelsior Club.
“I bet that 99 percent of the [white] people don’t know where it is. I’ve never been inside,” he said.
