Non Partisan or Partisan Election, That is the Question?

This morning Fox News sent a crew to Kinston, NC to gather opinions from citizens concerning Non Partisan Elections (NPE-removes the candidates party affiliation from the ballot). (Background) In 2008,a few members from the Lenoir County Republican Party, started a petition drive. The signatures were needed to place the Non Partisan Elections amendment on the November 2008 ballot. The drive was successful. Thus, Non Partisan Elections passed. After the vote passed the Kinston City Council had to vote to make it a law. The Council did not deliver enough votes to make the amendment a law. As a result the GOP group filed a lawsuit against the City of Kinston. The City fired back so the entire mess went to the Department of Justice. After many months of question and answer between the City and Justice, the Justice Department ruled to keep Partisan Elections.

The Interview is schedule to air on Hannity (9pm Monday - Friday). I have not verified the date,however it is rumored to air tonight (October 25, 2009).
