Asheboro, NC on 60 Minutes now.

North Carolina, which went blue in 2008, is swinging red again because Asheboro still hasn't gotten back on it's feet.

Who else is watching??

in the Asheboro area. They're the ones who keep electing Howard Coble in District 6 election after election. Once our district got redrawn as the population grew, the Repigs made sure that Coble's seat was safe.

doing anything other than voting down racial lines

Stereotypically speaking

The Zoo is there, a state supported institution and I bet a large employer

They lost their manufacturing jobs oh, I don't know about 2001 - 2002. ... they may not blame Obama

But the wider area has lost and probably for good, textiles and furniture. Huge Huge loss. Some may blame Clinton for signing the free trade agreement. Go Walmart!! So who knows.

They mention Kernersville. They used to make furniture and textiles.

Who can compete with China on this stuff unless we enact reasonable tariffs like we did when we started this country. We just upped the price by how much you pay your people versus what we pay ours. Then, if the other country's product is better, buy it.

Republican filibusters, obstructionism is NOT IN THE NEWS, therefore it doesn't exist, at least not for the swing voter.
