Abstract:
North Carolina’s Republicans are in control of state politics but are struggling over the correct path to take. Grassroots conservatives, often motivated by moral or religious concerns, have put pressure on Republicans after their support helped them achieve many victories. Also a problem is the class barrier within the North Carolina Republican Party. This has caused pressure as the old guard or “country-club Republicans” are being forced to pay attention to the religious right, “Wal-Mart Republicans,” and grassroots Republicans.
