Coleman, who for those of you who don't know, is black. She will have to manufacture a few more votes in order for there to be an automatic recount, and even if she does, 10,000 votes is a lot to make up. NC state government has been dominated by Democrats, but there has never been a case since I became a voter back in 1976 where boxes of uncounted votes that happen to favor the Democratic candidate have been found. Her argument is obviously specious and appears desperate.

As a black Democratic candidate backed by the state employees' association, she did not expect to lose, but NC is just fed up with the corruption displayed by the Democrats who have held the top offices in the state. Why do you think the incumbent governor chose not to run for reelection? Even though she was not as bad as her predecessor, she knew she stood almost no chance of winning.

Although I have lived in NC all my life and remember the Jim Crow laws, separate water fountains and waiting rooms, and desegregation, I have never felt any prejudice toward blacks. In fact, some of the people I most love and admire are black. Since the election, however, I look at every black person I see and wonder how they could vote for such a dishonest, incompetent person for POTUS just because of the color of his skin! I think that is the thing for which I most resent Obama. In four short (actually LONG) years, he has done lasting damage to race relations in the United States. I know that one day he will receive his just reward, but that is small comfort to me right now!
