It DO Mean a Thing!: Swing State Profiles – North Carolina
As we push toward November 4, it's time to focus on our nation's Swing States (i.e. the ones who will pick a president for the rest of us based on whoever's negative ad they saw last.) So tough toodles, Texas. Nous sommes desoles, Massachusetts. Let's investigate a state that matters for a change…
North Carolina's Key Players
* Former Senator John Edwards: Was talked up as a potential Obama running-mate, given that Americans prefer their Democrats Southern, smooth-talking, and unfaithful to their wives.
* Former NBA star Michael Jordan, who decided to make an endorsement after it was revealed that Republicans no longer wear sneakers.
* Deceased Republican Senator Jesse Helms: His will states that if North Carolina ever votes for a black man, his body is to be exhumed and reburied in the Soviet Union.
Obama's Constituency
* Gay tobacco farmers.
* The N.C. State Wolfpack, who fear Sarah Palin's wrath.
* Liberals who "hate real Americans that work and accomplish and achieve and believe in God."
McCain's Constituency
* Proud Asheville residents who are pretty sure that one of McCain's seven homes is in their town.
* Senator Elizabeth Dole, who registered to vote in North Carolina during her two-week vacation to the state in 2006.
* Racists.
Predicted Winner: John McCain
When NASCAR speaks, North Carolina listens.

It must not be quite as dumb now since you moved out. I have also found the people to be a lot friendlier.

Lived in North Carolina for 14 years. Friendly people, nice weather, enjoyed it. Two things I will never understand about the state:
1. Jesse Helms
2. NASCAR
MCCAIN FTW! (for the win)
I LOVE YOU NORTH CAROLINA
I am born and raised in Raleigh, NC, currently attend NC State University (Go Wolfpack), and yes, Palin scares the hell out of me.
and yes I agree with "Jackson", McCAIN FTW (F**ks the W)
GO OBAMA
I live in Raleigh, and I HATE McCain. Not only that, I'm a transplant from South Carolina, and I can't stand McCain. I know he's just like Bush, and Bush didn't exactly work out very well, did he?
BTW Tony, I understand your frustration at some people's ignorance, but broadbrushing an entire state is simply foolish. And you've obviously never been to South Carolina, if you think NC's dumb, and you've obviously never been to Chapel Hill, which is essentially hippie-ville.
Tony, first of all your a MORONIC ASSHOLE who we are glad to be rid of. Next We burnt John Mc Caint's house to the ground in Asheville before the foundation was laid. Viva Ash Vegas, VIVA OBAMA
