NC could see heated presidential race
Raleigh, N.C. Even though the presidential election is months away, a political ad attacking President Barack Obama is already running on North Carolina airwaves.
The minute-long ad, "Obama Sacrifices Pawns for Politics," is part of a $1 million statewide campaign by Americans for Prosperity, which started running the ad Monday and is expected to run it up until the president's State of the Union address next week.
Gary Pearce, a Democratic political consultant, said it's likely the first of such ads by independent, or third-party groups, that will run in the state over the next 10 months since North Carolina will be key in determining the next president.
"Get used to it. We're a battleground state," Pearce said.

I was a homeschooling mom on groups with quite a few (understatement) fundies from many different denominations. They hated Mormons. Every single one. Catholics weren't far behind in the south.
Then I moved to wisconsin. I never knew there were fundie Catholics too!
I was born in ga. Grew up in al & ky. Lived in sc too.have relatives al over the south. Nearly all religious types. Hell even the non fundie ones think Mormons are of the devil...
