Republican Mark Robinson, beset by scandals, lost the North Carolina race for Governor to Democrat Josh Stein.

Cue the mockery. Stein's win doesn't come as a surprise, given that among other things Robinson, currently the lieutenant governor, had among other things his history of calling himself a "Black Nazi" on a pornography website's message board exposed by CNN.

Mr. Stein’s campaign focused on education and abortion rights. But the core of his message was that Mr. Robinson, the Republican, was unfit to lead the state.
