I don't think he has a snowball's chance in Hell of carrying NC in the general election. I highly doubt the state will buck "tradition" and become a blue state this election year.

Laura James said:

Of course Obama can win NC. Voters are beginning to finally understand that conservatism is a sham -- a game of smoke and mirrors, designed to entice uneducated chumps with phony piety, promises of tax cuts, and swaggering belligerance.

Well the chumps can finally see they have been bamboozled by the wealthy and corporate interests, who buy off media pundits and phony tv evangelicals to help in their one true cause: cutting capital gains taxes and eliminating consumer and environmental protections.

Voters have had enough of predatory capitalism. We are sick of banks and corporations and military contractors, who are controlling our government, robbing the national treasury, and robbing us of our liberties. Obama won't be perfect, but he is part of the solution to restoring sane public policy and freedom to all Americans.

Any truth to the rumor that Barack Obama (BO), in order to appease the female voters, plans to pick Monica Lewinsky as his VP?
But who wants a President whose initials are BO?

Of course Obama can win NC. Democrat voters will never understand that liberalism is a sham -- a game of smoke and mirrors, designed to entice uneducated chumps with phony economics, promises of government entitlements paid for by productive, hard-working taxpayers, and staggering ignorance.

The chumps cannot see they have been bamboozled by the wealthy bureaucrats and special interests who know how to spend your money better than you do, who listen to media pundits and phony politicians to help in their one true cause: using consumer and environmental “protections” as a way to advance their socialist agenda through raising taxes, destroying individual initiative and the ability of employers—those are the people who provide jobs--to make a profit

Voters have not had enough of predatory socialism the way many countries who have tried and rejected it have done. (Voters don’t understand how America became a great nation by of embracing individual initiative, liberty, and capitalism.) They are not yet sick of empty government promises that have only taken us deeper and deeper into the morass and malaise of dependence on a self-perpetuating bureaucracy that is controlling our very well-being, robbing the taxpayers of their hard-earned money, and robbing us of individual liberties. Obama won't be anywhere near perfect because he has no relevant experience and has already demonstrated incredibly poor judgment, but he will help accelerate the insane public policy of unbridled government expansion, thus limiting individual freedom to all Americans.

Resigned, I LOVE the way you think. Laura James, you definitely DON'T speak for ALL VOTERS.
