Unaffiliated Voters Could Swing N.C. Primaries

[Road Scholar]

It looks like NC repugs are going to continue to take instructions from Rush Limpballs and try to throw the election to Hillary for McCain to defeat.

"According to the State Board of Elections, about 12,600 voters switched from Republican to unaffiliated or to Democrat from January through the end of March. Meanwhile, about 6,000 switched their enrollments to the GOP."

3. I live here and I think the unaffiliated are switching in order...

...to vote for Obama, and not for Hillary as Rush hopes. I personally know a few repugs that tell me they will not vote for Mclame or Shillary, but will vote for Obama.
I think Rush gets way too much credit for his antics. I know of 2 AM radio stations here that carry him.

4. I think you're right on the money. There are Obama signs all over the place down here.

NC is a weird state as far as voting goes. Always has a large numbers of unaffiliated voters, has a democratic governor, 2 republican senators...

Gotta say as an unaffilated voter for 20 years though, the democratic party down here is a fucking trainwreck. They really need to get their shit together.

7. I hope to heck you'all are right.

8. I do a fair amount of business with folks of all political stripes and...

from what I'm hearing, NC will swing for Obama by about 15-20%. Moderate pubs just don't have a reason to vote against him. Hell, I know several that changed to Unaffilated just to vote for him in the primary.

One thing's for sure - EVERYONE, and I do mean everyone, that I've talked to can't stand Hillary - dems, independents, and pubs. That shrew has united NC in a way I haven't seen in a long, long time.

Mountain...

5. Can we please not use "Shillary"?

I have a lower opinion of Hillary Clinton than ever right now (I am insensed about the new ad in PA), but "Shillary" and "Shrillary" are just sexist and offensive. It doesn't make Obama look good.

6. I've always been fond of "Veruca" myself. Captures her essence better

or should that be, bitter?

9. That's sexist too

Why do we have to resort to name-calling?

[Independent-Voter]

11. How's that sexist?
