“NC is an odd state politically. The NCGOP until recently has been borderline worthless..”

Something has happened there. That was the state of Jesse Helms, John East, and massive landslides for Ronald Reagan. Now they are the state of Nifong, John Edwards, and pure insanity.

I believe North Carolina is 21% black.

If an alien landed here and had to take a guess at the demographic breakdown of the entire world just for spending a day in Raleigh. He'd be convinced the world was 70 percent black, 10 percent Muslim and 20 percent all else.

Wonderful (sarcasm off)I am moving from a very conservative county in Georgia to the Raleigh/Durham NC. Company is transferring me. Guess I’m going to have to deal with more commies.

Mike Adams has been waging war against the Libs in NC for years from UNC-Wilmington. Maybe the tide is finally turning.

Only because there are so many northern libs moving here! I think the state legislature can redistrict and that may have a profound effect. We are known for outlandish gerrymandering .

I beg your pardon. Most of the libs live in Raleigh,Durham and Charlotte. Mass influx of northerners. The rest of the state is relatively sane.

Once again them dumb southerners are fooled again.

Yeah, us "dumb southerners" couldn't survive a day without smart ass northeastern Liberals telling us how to do everything. That must be why so many of ya'll are moving here. Couldn't possibly be our dumb low taxes, or our dumb low cost of living, or our dumb Right to Work laws, or our dumb good roads, or our dumb Republican majority Legislatures and Governors who want to keep our dumb way of life. Yeah, we just couldn't survive without the brilliance of northeastern Liberals being injected into our lives every day. Do us dumb southerners a favor and pass the word: Tennessee Sucks!

I’m with you, lots of NC bashing on here. We just totally cleaned house (literally) in NC. Not buying this propganda drivel at all.

Were you born this way or did you actually go to a liberal arts school? The PPP is notorious for under and skewed sampling, and was caught red-handed using a n=population formula when they should’ve been using (n-1)in the denominator. Skews the whole picture from standard deviations to confidence intervals to preconceived conclusions already based on non-representative sampling. But I’m just a dumb southerner, what do I know.

Yeah, and if they do, I am moving out of this benighted state to somewhere in FRee America.

The Raleigh and Durham areas are Obama country. Chapel Hill and Asheville are, too. There may be some Dem strongholds down on the coast, but my understanding is that the rest of the state is more sensible.

I’m pretty sure all the yankees that move here were stupid before they drank our water.

NC also is lousy with “good ol’ boys” who vote democrap because “daddy” always voted democrap. Many fail to understand that “daddy” voted for conservative dims, back when there was such a thing.

My guess is the huge immigration from the liberal Northeast. I am surrounded by people from NY, MD, NJ, DE, etc.

You and riri are welcome to leave anytime you want. Or, as an alternative, you can join the rest of us NC conservatives in fighting the good fight

No doubt about it. That is a huge part of the problem. When I tell people I think it is a little backwards here, they quickly say something about the southerners. I say, "It's not the southerners, it's the north easterners bringing their big government mentality with them.

I was only kidding. I'm not going anywhere. I did online campaigning for Bill Randall (opponent of 'rat Miller, US Rep). With redistricting, he'll probably make it next time, should he decide to run again.

The Raleigh and Durham areas are Obama country.

Some of us are working very hard in Wake County to fix that.

"Mass influx of northerners."

There is more than one family that lives in my subdivision that still drives a car with an out of state license plate. Pure speculation on my part, but I would not be surprised if those transplanted northern libs are still registered to vote in another state, while also voting in NC!
