of John Davis Consulting, is a Raleigh-based political analyst and private consultant to
corporations, trade associations and political organizations. During the campaigns of
2008, Davis was an early voice arguing that the political forces of <span style="textdecoration: underline;">generational change and the anti-establishment mood of the
voters</span> were working against older Washington insiders like U.S. Sen. John
McCain, GOP nominee for President, and U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Dole. He was one of the
rare few who saw North Carolina as a new presidential battleground state, boldly
projecting Sen. Barack Obama, Democratic nominee for President, and Kay Hagan,
Democratic challenger to Dole, as the likely winners, long before the national
pundits.</span></p>

work at all levels from U.S. President and U.S. Senate to campaigns for governor, state

leaders. He is the founding editor of <span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">the
