Red and blue counties
Guilford County goes 60-39 for Obama.
Around us, Randolph goes 71-28 for McCain; Alamance, 54-45 for McCain; Rockingham, 62-37 for McCain; Davidson, 66-33 for McCain.
The political division between the urban county and the surrounding counties continues. For years, Guilford County has been blue while its neighbors have been red. For several years, while bemoaning our political coverage, people have insisted to me that the N&R is out of touch, that the sentiment of the Triad is conservative and Republican. Obviously, it is in some places.
And not others.

I'm an independent voter, and have been consistently disgusted by the campaigns of our presidential, senate and gubernatorial candidates. Surely, these men and women, both parties, are better than their campaigns represented them. Campaigns have become hostage to the spin-doctors, sinking to the lowest level of mud-slinging and half truths. Shame on all of the candidates for not having courage to stand up and say no to this type of behavior.

John,
You might want to share this YouTube video with Janet, Jennifer, Melissa and any other Winthrop grads you have working for you.
It's show the celebration last night at the Winthrop Thomson cafeteria when CNN announced that Obama had won:

Well, arn't you SMUG!! That's a real 'I told you so'!! You must be sooooo proud! It surely shows what is most improtant to you: being in tune with the college crowd who is miss-informed by the "scholars" as opposed to reporting facts and truth!! The first thing that comes to mind is the GPD "black book" that doesn't exist that you and yours report as fact. Your paper is not supposed to "shade the truth" as you and your staff do. I have no doubt as to why your 'RAG' is for sale!!!

Dude, use spellcheck, especially when you trash the guy. Otherwise, your writing makes you look ignorant.
