That's right, NC is more conservative than most people think, especially here in Mtns. I have friends farther east, and this is a boost to Edwards, because he would not have been reelected in NC. Maybe he can get a teaching job like Al Gore after election is over, or return to private practice.

We have people here who are registered democrats, who vote republican.

Where is "down here", Florida?

"Down here" is South Carolina. My oldest is at UNC, my second oldest at The College of Charleston and and my youngest at USC.

My wife and I have a home in Hendersonville, NC, one here on Lake Murray in SC and a condo on the Outer Banks so I keep up with NC politics as closely as possible. Plus my parents have retired to Tryon, NC.

We need to get a Western NC FReep Chapter going. :)

Wait until they start showing the Edwards children. The little girl and boy were born when Mrs Edwards (4 yrs older than her husband) was 48 years old and 50 yrs. The pro life folks will have a hard time fighting the little kids and the photo op they will provide. They are really cute.
