that there would be no endorsement for President forthcoming. Nevertheless, Obama will carry Guilford County, just as Kerry did (only 51% to 49%, however) in 2004.

11. Gives more credence to Obama endorsement
I think the McCrory endorsement shows they will not always endorse Dems. They also endorsed several Repubs for Council of State and local races.

14. Hope you don't mind we are sending Dole back to Kansas.
as a native Kansan, I wish we were not doing this to my home state but i will get over this real quick when Hagan takes this seat.
