RALEIGH, N.C. -- The presidential campaign of Mitt Romney has begun shifting staff out of North Carolina, saying Thursday it was feeling confident enough that the state would go Republican next month.

Although the campaign declined to specify how many individuals were involved in the shift, it did acknowledge that its chief spokesman, Robert Reid, had been moved to Ohio.

Zero’s campaign left town days, if not weeks ago.

Ohio is now Obama’s Stalingrad, and like the Nazis its lost. After Stalingrad the Reich began a 1.5 year retreat back to Berlin, losing battle after battle. My analogy is next week Ohio will be lost also for Obama. Many folks here wonder why the media is showing Ohio as so intractable, it’s really not. The reality is the folks like Rachael Maddcow, Soledad OBrian, Anderson Coooper, if they were to proclaim Romney as leading in Ohio would cause the damn to break. The rout to be on. Which is going to happen anyway. I agree with Mark Levin, there is something happening out there, some tangible. You look and states like Mn, NJ, Ct , Washington are approaching toss-up status. I still think we have a NE shocker election night, maybe NJ going Romney. I may have to adjust my prediction I think now north of 330EVs for Romney, over by 10:30pm

Anderson Cooper has been pretty fair from all the articles i’ve read. He’s called out the left more than once.

The Obama campaign said rather than downsizing, it had in recent weeks added organizers in North Carolina. “This signals to North Carolina voters that the Romney campaign is taking their votes for granted,” said Cameron French, the chief spokesman for the state Obama campaign.

“The Obama campaign remains fully committed to North Carolina, while Republicans are adopting a reverse strategy from 2008,” French said. “On the first day of early voting, as our supporters turned out in droves to cast their ballot for President Obama, the Romney campaign is pulling up stakes and turning its back on hard working North Carolinians.”

reads like satire. Then again the whole Obama campaign is now negative because that’s all that’s left for him.

I’m not being critical; I’ve never run a campaign. But I was hoping the Romney campaign had enough cash to continue to step on Obama’s throat in the battlegrounds through the election.

That’s why Romney visited Asheville last week. Romney is no fool.

Agreed. One my takeaways from this campaign season is while Cooper is a lib, he appears to be honest or much more than most. Good for him.

Gotterdammerung on the eastern front in Jan-April 1945 ?

Or ?

Battle of the Bulge on the western front late 1944-Jan 1945 ?

My prediction is Romney wins NC by a minimum of 8%.

I live here and you NEVER see an obama yard sign EXCEPT in black folks yards.

Prior to this article, I had moved NC to “probable Romney.” With FL now “leans Romney” and the possibility that VA is or will soon also be, the battleground is suddenly focused on OH.

FL, NC and VA are Obama’s Sevastopol, Voronezh and Rostov, and OH will be his Stalingrad.

It sure looks like America is turning away from the pure socialism of the Left. Unlike in Europe where it will take a least a decade to do so, we’ll get it done in a few weeks.

In other words, they are trying to save some Democrat seats.

I am thinking Kursk will be Pennsylvania, all of Obama's capital, all his ammo will be there next 2.5 weeks. Ohio is a goner and frankly has been. Gotterdammerung I think is for election eve. Obama will sit Michelle and Shamika, Tamika or whatever the hell his kids names are, and tell them they will be moving in January.."But its all good". I was only 14 in 1980 but I can remember the country's mood and its similar, granted Romney is no Reagan, but the election maybe something like it.

My great uncle was in Patton's 3rd Army, he was a driver in a Sherman, probably the biggest death trap every foisted on the US army. I have some great stuff I got from my Dad when he died, an SS dagger, the skull and cross bones ensigna(Waffen SS) and a few assorted Nazi battle field commendations. The dagger alone I saw on Ebay $500+. But as a Jew I hold them in esteem, a momento to the 6 million that died and as a reminder to myself of my families heritage and triumph over the worst form of Satanic evil.

Saw my first Obama ad yesterday. Can’t believe he’s spending money in California.
