Just got an email from Insideradvantage's latest NC poll, not on their website yet.
April 30, 2008 A survey of 571 registered likely voters in North Carolinas May 6 Democratic primary shows Sen. Hillary Clinton having moved from a double digit deficit in an InsiderAdvantage poll taken in mid-April to a two point lead over Sen. Barack Obama in this telephone survey, conducted April 29. The survey was weighted for age, race, gender, and political affiliation. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.8% The results were: April 30(April 13) Hillary Clinton: 44% (36%) Barack Obama: 42% (51%) Undecided: 14%
Prior to his appearance on FoxNews Networks Hannity & Colmes, on which the poll was released, InsiderAdvantages Matt Towery noted: The shift has come almost entirely from white voters age 45 and over. There was a small drift of African-Americans back towards Clinton, but not so significant as to establish any trend.
I believe when all is said and done, Obama will likely carry North Carolina; or if he loses the race, it will be by just a few points.
Our polling generally does not indicate the eventual compression of black voters that Obama usually enjoys just before Election Day. If that happens, my guess is that he will pull this out. However, this poll is clearly an indication of reaction to the latest statements by his former pastor; and it forces Sen. Obama to split resources between Indiana and North Carolina. If this white vote shift does not erode, given that North Carolinas white Democratic voters are primarily in the Research Triangle, where education and personal finances are in the top tier for the nation, then I would say this suggests a major shift in all future primaries towards Clinton, said Towery.
Barack and his wife are waring their lapel pins
I’ve said this before-all the Freepers talk radio hosts, and others who are hanging on to that wet dream of blood in the streets during the convention are in for a big surprise. Ain’t. Gonna. Happen.
BTW, very appropriate and very clever.
Rush has made it clear Operation Chaos is not designed to pick the winner but to make the race so close the Superdelegates are in paralysis to make a decision.
It’s working great, vote for Hillary next Tuesday in North Carolina and Indiana and tighten this deal up some more.
It’s not support of Clinton, it’s the lesser of 2 evils. A couple of months ago Barack was the lesser but that has shifted dramatically.
Many here will probably vote 3rd party in the fall.
That's funny, the same exact thing can be said of John "The Maverick" McCain!
Really?
McCain has has about a 65% conservative voting record over the last 8 years (It was higher before that). Hillary has about an 8% conservative (or 92% liberal) voting record since she's been senator.
That would suggest that the same can NOT be about both McCain and Hillary. McCain (unfortunately) has moved to the center. Hillary remains a consistent, balls-to-the-wall liberal.
I agree with what you say, but I must remind you and all that McQueeg is now only the presumptive candidate. Sept. 1-4 are decision days. Many gaffes, tantrums and mistakes can occur between now and Sept. on McCain's part. We can pray. Out of literally hundreds of deserving, intelligent, and sane, possible CONSERVATIVE Republican candidates, how we wound up with this media chosen idiot is something I will never understand.
Remember, it ain't a done deal until September.
The dimmacrat primary is scheduled for Aug 25-28. The Republican primary is scheduled for Sept 1-4. Whatever the dims decide, the Republican primary is unaffected.

Who said anything about the Republican primary. Your response doesn't correspond to anything that I said.
Thanks, but I can’t take full credit for it. The FReeper known as Arkinsaw made a statement that I thought was great.I changed it somewhat and shrunk it to fit my tagline.
John McCain is no Reagan conservative, but he is no Clinton/Obama liberal either.
Hillary’s Love for Pork
(Apr 29, 2008, Club For Growth)
Press Release
Washington - Hillary Clinton talks about changing Washington, but it is clear the New York Senator has no intention of making good on her word. When it comes to keeping the congressional pork factory churning, Senator Clinton is one of Washington’s biggest culprits.
The proof is in the pork: News reports reveal that Hillary Clinton has requested a whopping $2.3 billion in earmarks for the Fiscal Year 2009. This staggering number is nearly triple the largest amount of pork projects received by any Senator this year.
“Hillary Clinton defends these projects as critical to New York, but she doesn’t explain why taxpayers across the country should be forced to fund her pork projects without so much as a vote or why she thinks she knows how to spend their money better than they do. After the United States Senate rejected her request for $1 million for a hippie museum last year, one would think Senator Clinton would have learned her lesson.”

Clinton 296.2 million dollars in pork
Obama 97.4 million dollars in pork
McCain 0.0 NONE
it can only happen if enough blacks also reject this crap....now that would be a good trend of new perspectives Dems or not
or it could be Operation Chaos
She's going to try to take it during the convention, math or no math. Remember, the rules don't apply to rats.
Barry is toxic, now. He's so ineptly handled the hate-preacher issue he's tainted his support from partially thinking White people. He's not going anywhere outside of liberal strongholds, he's in Dukakis/Carter territory as far as electoral performance by November if he's the pick.
And it's a thing of beauty so many high profile dims have put their money on him!
Don't count Hillary out just yet. It's not the math that will count in the end. The rats may just decide that Florida and Michigan need to be counted after all since Barry's snuffed his campaign.
Those who fear a Hitlery presidency are not considering the effect that getting the nomination away from Obama would have on her party, and her ability to pass legislation...
...oh yeah, I forgot...she won’t be able to pass any legislation...after all, the Democrats only own both barrels of Congress, and gaining more seats this election year...Hillary will have a devil of a time convincing those stout hearted Democrats, all right...
...and Rush? well, someone has to ask the obvious...rushie has stated that neither BO or Hil can win the election...if so, why any need for Operation Chaos, other than to stoke his ego and make him feel important...
That was already accomplished. If that were truly his goad he would shut it down now or direct the "troops" to vote for Obama in North Carolina and Indiana.
Instead, even as the momentum shifts to Clinton, he keeps pushing for her. That makes it easier for the SDs to vote for her. He is now decreasing, not increasing, paralysis.
