Yes, President Elect Obama, anything is possible when you GET OUT THE VOTE

For years I have posted that NC could be turned blue. I've been shouted down by DU'ers
from other states, affirmed by a few other NC DU'ers.

Here's how NC went blue: 68.37% of registered voters went to the polls in NC.

Here's the past history:

1972 3,541,399 1,518,612 2,357,645 64%

And the key for 2008:

Voter Registration as of 11/05/2008 Democratic: 2,868,850 Republican: 2,004,038 Libertarian: 3,655 Unaffiliated: 1,395,204 Total: 6,271,747

Look at the increase in numbers of registered voters from 2004 to 2008: 744,766 MORE registered voters.

Yes, President Elect Obama, anything is still possible!

Congratulations NC--We're BLUE!!!!
