[applexcore]

but you're probably already there like always!

See ya Liddy!


Edit: Suppose to be a reply to the OP

3. the democratic WAVE 08 style!

[tblue]

4. Hooray!!!

[barack the house]

6. WTG Hagan, the little I've seen of her I like a lot. Also a great sign for the national outlook.>

Democratic underground is becoming the center of the universe it seem. We get our message out strong and clear while we have people's attention.

Barack Obama"We are one people all of us the united states of America."

[DCBob]

7. Wow. That is incredible!

Another indication that NC is changing to blue in a big way.

[littlebit]

8. Great

Hopefully she will lose. That way she doesn't have to be bothered with coming to NC anymore. I know it is just so hard for her to come here.

[Captain Hilts]

9. Mookie said it last spring, Liddy's goin' down. She BARELY beat Bowles in '02. nt

[DJ13]

10. Thats bad news for Mattel

They might go out of business if the market for plastic collapses because she no longer needs face lifts and implants.

11. Phooie - there's always Caribou Barbie nt

12. Here's the silver lining about Wachovia being gobbled up by Citigroup. Republicans will be blamed.

Charlotte, NC must be gripped by fear. This town was formerly untouched by the housing bubble as it had
the greatest year-to-year appreciation of home values in the country until now.

13. Charlotte IS gripped with fear

No gas to be found anywhere, thousands of layoffs coming, the Wachovia tower to possibly not be finished....all very bad news this week.

[GreenInNC]

17. yea, sucks for me

Civil Engineer for a small family owned firm.

[ClarkUSA]

18. Sigh. Sorry to hear that... I hope folks all across NC vote the Republican bums out.

The alternative is unthinkable. I know Team Obama is burning rubber in the state and this tragedy will only make them
work harder to win over undecideds. Are you volunteering in Charlotte? I hope so.

19. Nope, I'm working in the Raleigh area though

Moved out this way to help with a local NC House race. I live in the Charlotte suburbs though.

[ClarkUSA]

22. How's Raleigh doing?

Is the atmosphere/situation on the ground there different than in Charlotte?

[slay]

14. Great news for those of us who live in NC!!

Dole is TERRIBLE! I will be soooooo glad when she's gone! :woohoo:

[patriotvoice]

15. "If this continues to be an election about the economy Democrats are going to win."

No kidding.

[Scurrilous]

16. Great news!

K & R :thumbsup:

21. Charlotte has been the Repub Stronghold in NC Elections Past....

The tanking of Wachovia and the coming job layoffs are putting a serious dent in the Repub brand given that the last 8 years of Bush brought us to this point --and workers know it.

I see NC going Blue this election cycle....

23. Went for Kerry in 2004

Mecklenburg was one of the few counties that went for Kerry in 2004. We have a majority Dem City Council, majority Dem County Commish, majority Dem School Board, 4 of the 7 towns in Meck have Dem mayors. Easley (Dem Gov candidate)got 59% in 2004 and hometown boy Richard Vinroot (Rep Gov candidate) only got 51% in 2000.

26. I was speaking of Repub Charlotte voting historically ... which is true....

I would hope that 2004 turned the corner for Democratic voting in Charlotte.

[GreenInNC]

28. interested in your reasoning

I would be interested to hear the facts behind your asertation. Clinton won meck in '92 and '96 and Bush only got 51% in '00. Gantt beat Helms both times here. We have held the Charlotte City Council for as long as I remember and the County Commish was only Repub for a couple of years.

[torbird]

31. Charlotte? Republican?

Harvey Gantt.

I think the commenter meant it is a business town. But it's also quite liberal, in a straitlaced way. I mean, Swann v. Board put CLT at the front of school integration. And since then...

[Hepburn]

24. There is a gawd....

...and she is great!

:applause: Thanks for the good news!

[Orsino]

25. Can you say "appendectomy"?

I knew you could!

Let's hear it for the removal of useless flesh from Congress! :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[Alter Ego]

27. Meta as fuck.

Go Kay Hagan.

[grantcart]

29. astonishing

[deadparrot]

30. Whenever I hear "Kay Hagan,"

I always think about these two hooking up.
