I just meant that I would be a RINO voting for someone like Liddy Dole.
Because I am a Conservative, who would be holding my nose and voting for a Republican with whom I disagree strongly.
If would be a Conservative, voting Republican in name only.
I don't even recognize some of the things running with R's behind their names anymore..
To clear things up about John Edwards, he carried Raleigh and east. This would be the tropical storm Floyd and hog farming portion of the state. It could be just as easily colored Jim Hunt should that color exist in the spectrum. He did not have a majority from Raleigh west to Tennessee anywhere except a few city pockets, but this eastern area gave him the majority needed. There was a red and blue map of NC published at the time of the senate race as well as the presidential race. Maybe someone could find it and post it. I think AP did the graphic. Of course I am relying on memory.
