Why does North Carolina seem to attract more liberals than other Southern States? Is it because of all the universities?
We have nice coasts and mountains. When they ruin their own states, they escape to NC and bring their voting habits with them.

UNC-CH is the center of the academic communist movement in this country. Erskine Bowles who currently serves as Chancellor of the UNC system was President Clinton's Chief of Staff. John Edwards, who ran for president, has his own taxpayer-funded department at UNC-Chapel Hill, a gift he received from NC Dems as a reward for running for VP. He currently uses his position as director of a new Center on Poverty, Work and Opportunity at the university, to launch his communistic initiatives.
One glance at the Academic Depts within UNC-CH should tell you everything you need to know.
