I’m not buying polls that go my way, either.
Except early voting in OH showing more Rs than Ds turning out, sometimes in massive numbers. In Franklin (Obama won the county by 21) Rs are ahead by 6000 votes and the margin keeps (slightly) increasing, making it a 25-26 point turnaround.
And in 2004 Kerry only took Mecklenburg 51-48 while Bush took Union 70-29 and Gaston 68-32. Throw the 2008 numbers out when trying to decipher liberal vs conservative.
Union county is changing. Lots of D coming from New York for banking. Its still 60% R 40% D
yes, but Charlotte is not mostly Ghetto like Detroit. There are a lot of very high paying jobs down there.

In the last 10 elections, NC has gone to Republicans 8 times (80%). In 2008, McCain only lost NC by 14,000 votes.
There surely are a lot of Dems registered here but, based on the absentee votes percentages and polls like this, I believe NC is going to go Republican 9 times out of 11.
Just think of all the probably wasted millions of dollars poured into this state by the Dems and the DNC held here!
But, but, but the media has already told me it’s over, how can this be:).
Poll ping.
The IL advantage is redistricting is caused by the insidious Voting Rights Act which Bush and Co. got renewed. Rove you magnificent imbecile, read a book!
