Reply #6: Penland has one of the best craft/artisan schools [View All]

in the country, many liberals live in Asheville, Boone and surrounding areas. It's a unique community with lots of artists and craftsmen who sell their work in galleries or small studios.

Triangle includes:

Chapel Hill and Durham are fairly liberal, Raleigh has a mixture of both. My neighborhood is much more conservative but through canvassing, I have found more Kerry supporters than I was expecting.

We have had a problem here with Kerry signs being stolen and slight vandalism but polls suggest, FWIW, the Triangle area has Kerry ahead.

There are rural areas of this state (still don't sell alcohol) that are die hard republicans. The RW fundies have had a major influence in certain areas too, especially Raleigh.

I have not written off NC, the numbers are closer than reported and we've registered a large number of new voters. MoveOn has a GOTV campaign here which I've been involved in so we are trying our hardest to change this state.
