Billy Kennedy's go at the seat Foxx is occupying-- and how it is looking more and more possible. The Winston-Salem Journal endorsement of Kennedy against Foxx was devastating to her, since she's always had the support of the district's biggest newspaper in the past.

Rep. Virginia Foxx, who has inexplicably represented North Carolina’s 5th District for four terms, met her Democratic rival Billy Kennedy Thursday night, for their second debate in three days. Foxx got off to a particularly bad start when she attempted to disparage Billy Kennedy’s claim to be a regular working man. She smirked as she held up her own hands as proof that she works. The audience gasped. It seems everyone in attendance knew that Billy Kennedy lost the tip of his index finger in a workplace carpentry accident almost four years ago. Everyone, that is, except Mrs. Foxx.

West Jefferson became center stage Tuesday night for what is shaping up to be a hotly contested race for the Fifth Congressional District seat between Congresswoman Virginia Foxx and Democratic challenger Billy Kennedy.

The Ashe Civic Center was filled to near capacity as some residents found their place against the back wall to hear the candidates exchange in a war of words over some of the more controversial issues facing the nation today including the economy, immigration, abortion, proper use of the nation's military, education and the role of the federal government in those issues. ...

In terms of job retention, Kennedy attacked Foxx's policies on keeping jobs from going overseas and pointed out that the unemployment rate in the district had more than doubled since the beginning of her tenure. Foxx believes that lowering the nation's corporate tax, the second highest in the world, will create more jobs stateside and act as incentive to keep companies from leaving.

Throughout much of the night, Foxx battled claims made by Kennedy that her actions in Congress were influenced by corporate contributions.
