The eastern part of the state is a different story. The only Republican enclaves are Pinehurst, Johnston County, and the military sites in Wayne and Onslow. The communists have completely taken over the triangle! Gore won around 60% of the white vote in Orange county and 50% of it in Durham, and while Bush scored a victory in Wake this place is reliably Democratic otherwise. The black voting base is huge nearly everywhere, aside from Johnston County and areas right along the coast. Some of the VA border regions have a majority black population (Eva Claytonland). A conservative running in Fayetteville and south might as well forget about it - most residents are dirt poor including the farmers and the Lumbees in Robeson Co. Still, Jesse Helms' populist image appealed to the small towners in the east and the military types were especially fond of him. These are the people who elected him every time - all of the large counties went for Gantt.
While she will never be another Helms I will gladly take Libby Dole over the clintonite. The thought of a Democrapic sweep is too much to bear!
Not me. If I'm going to vote for a statist,I'm going to vote for one who is honest about it.

It MIGHT be the wake-up call the Republicans so desperately need to hear. Even though the "leadership"(gag.puke) are leftists themselves,the thing they worship most of all is power. If they are ever forced to face up to the reality that they never reached majority status UNTIL Newt somehow managed to convince them to run AND legislate to the right,they deserve to have their asses handed to them on election day. Newt brought the party to power,and these insider bastards stabbed him in the back with a knife over a blow job.Or at least that is the excuse they needed. I'm becoming more and more convinced the real reason is they hate conservatives,and needed Newt out of them before he ruined it for leftists like themselves.
