Cool!!! My husband has spent his last 2 Saturday's out with a group of Vietnam Vets in downtown Raleigh talking to passers by about Kerry's crimes ect. :-) He said they probably spoke to 500 people last Saturday, with at least 70% in favor of Bush already and many that didn't know much about Kerry. Even changed some minds!! I don't see NC going blue!!!

I've been going up & down I-40 most of this week, and I have seen hundreds of W04 and Bush/Cheney stickers on cars,
and maybe a dozen K/E stickers...

I would kill to live in a great state like North Carolina. You guys are lucky...

I live in Seattle, which is beautiful, but the people here make me want to drink hemlock.

from the article... Sen. John Edwards' benefit to the Democratic ticket appears to be a bust in his home state. For the first time, this poll shows more voters view him as unfavorable (42 percent) than favorable (41 percent).

Kerry's phonus-balonus Southern Strategy never did materialize in this race and it's interesting how little this gets mentioned by the MSM.

Thank you for posting this, Ambrose! YEssssSS! I cannot adequately describe how uber-vonderbar it is to see wave after wave of W04, Bush/Cheney stickers, signs, etc. How many local and regional businesses are sportin' em too. Yep, I came "home"! :)

Can any presidential election historians tell me when the last time a winning presidential ticket failed to take the VP candidate's home state?

[Lizavetta]

Isn't this Silky Pony's state?

Now we know why he wanted the VP job. He wasn't looking forward to a stint in the unenjoyment line.

Bush may be maintaining a lead, but apparently Republicans are not voting properly when they go for early voting. People were calling in to the Jason Lewis show on WBT in Charlotte last night, saying they had already voted, but that they had no idea that pulling the Republican lever would not include a vote for President Bush.

In other words, because the President has to be selected seperately, they left the polls without voting for President! (70% of early voters, in NC, are Republicans.)

Please FRmail Constitution Day, TaxRelief OR Helms if you want to be added to or removed from this North Carolina ping list.

One never hears in the liberal media that John Edwards isn't going to carry his home state....can you imagine the media uproar if Cheney didn't carry his home state of Wyoming or Bush didn't carry his home state of Texas?

Now we just need to boot Tax Hike Mike out of office!!!!
