The email 'obtained by WRAL' was the same one broken 30 hours earlier by Billman at The Assembly. It shouldn't be that hard to credit reporters for their work.

In the GOP’s 13th congressional district runoff, there's not much difference between Brad Knott and Kelly Daughtry on policy issues.

The victor could hold the seat for years. ⬇️
