Privately, Senate Democrats have been discussing the matter internally, with one fretting that Smith is “unelectable” in a general election and will be painted as a Bernie Sanders acolyte. Few in the party want to criticize Smith publicly “My gut tells me North Carolinians have a really strong BS meter. And this is triggering it," Cunningham said in a statement.
Another mysterious super PAC — "Carolina Blue" — was created last week and has spent $1.1 million backing Cunningham, according to filings with the Federal Election Commission.
