1. I'm shocked by the NC Polls

People are doing straight tickets. And thats a suprise. with GOvernor Easley on the ticket. I thought he would pull Bowles on his coatails

[NewYorkerfromMass]

5. The immigration smear on Bowles doomed him

When I read about that I knew he was in trouble. It was a cheap smear and I am sure it did damage.

[wildeyed]

7. Plus I thought that allot of Bush voters would vote for Bowles.

crap

[unfrigginreal]

8. Don't forget that approx. 1 million early votes are not part of these

numbers. We may see NC go blue for both Pres and Senator yet.

[wildeyed]

13. My husband is out driving voters.

I told him not to come home until he runs out of voters or the polls close. It isn't over 'till its over.

[Emboldened Chimp]

12. Bush up by ONE in Virginia?

Viginia is IN PLAY!

[Christiandem]

14. I hope it is true...

By I am just skeptical by nature. Plus, what is the source for that? Is the source reliable? Or are these numbers just made up to either discourage repugs or fire up dems? (Sorry, I didn't mean to be a party pooper, but I want my optimism to be grounded in reality)

[nonconformist]

16. That Bunning number... my god

I'm speechless. Shit.

[Kazak]

17. Loving the Presidential numbers,...
