28,000 in Asheville, NC today! (pics up)

[applexcore]

Just heard it on the news. For those of you who don't know, thats one of the most Republican parts of the state. (Close to TN)

I'll be putting up some pictures of it in an edit.

2. YES! We can do this North Carolina!

We can make our country look proud on Election Night when it says North Carolina has voted for Barack Obama!

3. LOL, on MSNBC earlier, the newscaster said it was "at least a few thousand".

Good to know it was more than that.

AND... they never gave a crowd shot... naturally..

That's why I comb DU for people who go to these rallies and take their cameras... I always hope they'll post at least ONE taken from the edge of the crowd... (from a height, if possible..on a mailbox, up a tree, from a second story window)

13. I actually I thought MSNBC said a couple of thousand. I could tell

from just looking at the crowd it was more than that

4. Damn! The Republicans had better stock up on Depends

because they will need them on November 4th.

6. Asheville one of the most republican parts of NC???????

I thought this mountain town was progressive. The most progressive
in NC. Lots of artists, free spirits... It might be close to TN, but
that doesn't they're one and the same. I know people there and the
message I got was that it's the most progressive part of NC.

[Seen the light]

8. ASHEVILLE is. The surrounding area is red Appalachia home of Eric Rudolph.

9. No, I was talking about the general area (Mountian area)

10. My impression too

My nephew and his wife live there, and that's the impression I've gotten.

[Tunkamerica]

11. Asheville itself is very progressive

I think the poster meant the area surrounding asheville which is fairly conservative by tradition.
