I live north of Raleigh in a town where I am the only one with a McCain sign in the yard. Many more Obama signs especially in black neighborhoods. The dems have been working hot and heavy on voter registration here.
Our county Republican party has little money and Dole wouldn’t help us raise any, although she sure was quick to ask us to donate some of the little we have raised to her campaign.
North Carolina still leans red as a whole fairly strongly, but the increasing population in RDU and Asheville and the higher black population near the NE part of the state can create issues for the GOP in the future, IMHO.
