Background

North Carolina's 7th District is located in Southeastern North Carolina, stretching from the Sandhills to Wilmington. The district has a Cook PVI rating of R+5, meaning the district is slightly more conservative than average. The 7th district was won by Republican President George W. Bush in 2004 by a large margin and Republican Senator John McCain in 2008 by a slimmer margin.

The 7th district race was especially competitive in 2010 due to uncertainty about the nation's economy and negative approval of the Democratic Party and President Barack Obama. Mike McIntyre, a six-term conservative Democrat from Lumberton, supported the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.[2] However, McIntyre opposed most of the other major pieces of legislation passed by Democrats in the 111th Congress, including the American Clean Energy and Security Act[3] and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.[4] Pantano used McIntyre's vote in favor of the stimulus bill and his vote to elect Nancy Pelosi as Speaker of the House[5] to attack him, while McIntyre spun Pantano's association with Wall Street against him. Pantano was already a controversial figure after he was accused of shooting two unarmed Iraqis while serving in Iraq in 2004.[6]

In the general election, McIntyre was endorsed by the National Rifle Association of America,[7] the United States Chamber of Commerce,[8] and the National Right to Life Committee.[9]
