NC Times: North Carolina?
Orange County (NC, CA or FL)?
Carlsbad (NM or CA)?
TravisMcGee has some relly good ones of the nutcase protesters.
Carlsbad is located in the northern part of San Diego county California. It's a nice coastal town. San Diego is one of the few conservative counties in California- lots of military based there. It is also near the Mexican border, hence the illegal immigration concerns.
California, just north of San Diego, not that far from Camp Pendleton, the big Marine training base on the West Coast!
My first thought was NM.
