1. I suspect this backs up what Obama's internals are showing

He has a rally scheduled there next week. And there was another poll that showed it 48-47, McCain. I more or less wrote the other poll off as an outlier but clearly Obama wouldn't be traveling there if their internal polling was showing him way behind.

2. That is awesome!!! and family values is code for the overturn of

Roe v Wade, and limiting gay rights ... so I am not surprised at that number at all...

3. That's such great news! The best will be if Hagan wins and sanctimonious Dole is gone!

All in all a great poll which should make Republicants dyspeptic...

6. It's even better

21% African American in this survey where in 2004 the actual turn out was 26%
Go ahead and bump NC back into the toss up column, soon to be leans blue!!!!

8. I didn't notice that!

[Seen the light]

7. Barr consistently does well in NC because of the talk radio people out here

Barr's been a fixture on right-wing radio station WBT in Charlotte for years now and has a sizable backing that probably would have gone to McCain otherwise.

9. Dems: 18% for McFail? WTH? That's why it's only tied. nt
