Bush twice won North Carolina 56-43%. NC has not voted for a Dem since Jimmy Carter in 1976.

Hey. this is interesting:

Not sure how recent the polling is, but this shows North Carolina electoral votes are 47% McC and 47% Obama.

Now it is even more clear to me why Fred has a ticket to Winston Salem next week.

I guess there are plenty of “identity politics” voters there who like a messiah even better than a Baptist Sunday School teacher.

I just peeked, and the poll was April 12, 2008.
