I really appreciate you putting this on the front page.  We're working so hard to help Larry.   We appreciate all the help we get.

This is a great visual.

Go Kay Hagan!

Larry is a wonderful man.  It's exciting to have the lead and you can bet that no one is sitting back enjoying it.  This is a very hard working campaign.

She switched her party affiliation to Democrat to vote for Hillary and she wound up supporting an entire list of Democrats and has said she will not go back to being or voting as a registered Republican.  I knew I liked her for some reason.

I looked at the cross tabs on the poll I linked to above and it turns out in the 704 area code (Union, Cabarrus, Mecklenburg, etc) Clinton and Obama are polling about even.  That's why I'm seeing the strong Clinton support I wasn't expecting in Mecklenburg.  

I still think Obama will win the popular vote in NC.

Mostly from Charlotte - our biggest city in the state and most of the folks moving in are Republicans from the North.    You know....we like newcomers....we just wish more of them were Democrats!  :D

I'll save that for others.  I don't mind being negative if I have a criticism, but I try to back up what I say with facts.  I might not always succeed........

Thanks for the kind words.

but Obama won't win them either.  Hillary is more likely to hold onto the rural Democrats and she won't bleed off the urban Democrats the way some predict.  Her problem is she won't command the turnout that Obama will.....at least...I don't think she will.

I wasn't clear on that at all.  I'm sorry.

They both were very gracious toward the other.  Their speeches were amazing - made the more so b/c we never get presidential candidates in NC unless they're raising money for someone else.

This has been wonderful for our state.

We shouldn't believe that.  Change simply comes more slowly to some areas.  It will happen.  These are dedicated Democrats who vote for Democrats and just because many of them support Hillary doesn't mean they do so b/c of racism.  

with a very small African American population.  The county is the 7th fastest growing county in the country, though and a lot of the polarization is exaggerated because of the presidential election.  We have a lot of conservative Dems in this county and they will vote for McCain anyway.

you move to more rural areas.  The great news here is that we have a small but strong Democratic party and for the most part they are yellow dogs.  I think with some of the newcomers here working so hard we'll be able to pull everyone together.

I know I'm going to regret asking this.....but....what do you mean by no copycats?

I have permission to use these if that's what you mean.

Several stations have refused to air the ad and I think it has become more about the ad than the content of the ad.
