“People think this was a watershed election,” Sullivan said.

It was. (And this goober is a UNC-CH political science professor?)

Tarheels may need to switch from blue to red. Looks good on 'em...

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

since 59 million Americans

That would be 60 million and counting, thank you.

[AirForceMom]

60 million plus who saved you's from yourselves. We aren't holding our breath's for a Thank you either.

[Ptarmigan]

Oh cry me a river! They need to move on.

[the_gospel_of_thomas]

60 yes, that's what I thought too. ( but WHO's Counting, Right ?? )


... has Dan Rather called OHIO for Bush yet ?!?!?

"Radios are tuned to music, not talk."

That doesn't bode well for Air America...

[Michael Goldsberry]

"lived through Reagan.”

And quite possibly owe your continued existence to Reagan, ingrates.

[Helms]

NC *Ping*

Please FRmail Constitution Day, TaxRelief OR Helms if you want to be added to or removed from this North Carolina ping list.

[Libloather]

Almost forgot - half of NC is already a red state - eh?

[Freepdonia]

Chapel Hill is a nice place to visit, bit if you're a conservative, you surely don't want to live there.

[AirForceMom]

People thought the election was stolen. This time, I think it’s much more a mood of sadness and disappointment.

Awwwwwwwwwww, Why? Because there was a resounding echo throughout nearly all of the country that Americans are fed up with your liberal b*llsh*t??
S'cuse me while I have another beer to celebrate.

[I still care]

"You could just tell how bitter everyone was,” he said, adding that he and his fellow Republican students couldn’t resist smiling a bit as they walked across the quads"

I know how he feels. Everytime I get in back of a car with a Kerry bumper sticker on it, I get this huge smile on my face. Then I start to laugh out loud, alone in my car. I can't help it.

The condescension of the liberals in the area of UNC-CH is amazing. They think they're just the smartest people in the world, and everyone who disagrees with them is just too stupid or incompetent to know what's best for them.

On November 3, as all the liberals I attend school with were getting ready to slit their wrists, I was grinning from ear to ear. It was a beautiful day.

[Libloather]

Then I start to laugh out loud, alone in my car.

That was YOU?

[boomop1]

Don't you just love it I lived in CH for 8 years and commie Carrboro, good beer at Spring Garden, I'd love to wear my "W" 2004 hat in there.

[mykdsmom]

I hope these whiney a$$ babies keep up all their caterwauling.

It makes it all that much sweeter when I keep gloating : )

"we lived through Nixon and we lived through Reagan"Aw darn the commies didn`t win that one either.

[AMDG&BVMH]

"you surely don't want to live there".

No kidding. These folks are as condescending as anyone from the coasts.

I worked at Research Triangle Park, lived in Durham, while working on a doctorate at NC State. Chapel Hill -- I wish I had never been in the place. Memories are beyond horrible.

Their arrogance extends to total disparagement for the real people who live in NC. It was explained to me as a "Plantation mentality." That about hit it as well as any other description. They are above it all. They can tell other people how to live. They can IMPOSE thier decisions on other, mere mortals . . .

We ate at a Frenchish rest. in Chapel Hill -- they charged as much as a fabulous meal we had had at the Court of Two Sisters in New Orleans! It wasn't NEARLY the meal, nor the atmosphere. But, they are so full of it, they charged as though they were Paris itself.

Stay away - don't give them your $. Durham is better, more grounded, more real . . .

[Marinefamilyx3]

Oh good God, they need to get over it. Up here in the mountains of NC we are quite happy with the results. I only see Raleigh/Chapel Hill/Durham on my way to the other part of the state that is red....the beaches.
