GOTV for President Obama in NC may have coattails!

I just received an e-mail from the race for Governor and
Dalton's campaign manager claims Dalton (D) is ahead by 49-44%!

No link was provided, but I'll check around to see what I can find.


Woo-hoo!

e-mail back to Dalton's campaign manager asking for a link.

I had hoped that if we got a BIG Dem turnout--which, so far, we are--
it would translate to a victory for Walter Dalton.

But if it gets people to show up and saves some down-ballot races... great.

Heck... If the national race shifts a bit, the president could win the state.

But someone is going to have to get McCrory to make a rape/maccacca blunder to get this one back in the game... and I can't imagine his handlers are letting him anywhere near an interview.

If most of these votes are people unlikely to vote November 6 this is huge

If 90% of them were going to the polls November 6, it's no big deal.

Given the Dem issues with turnout over the years, I suspect NC may yield a lot of surprises, just from Obama's ground game being so frickin' good!

to put it politely.. he has a face that I I wouldn't want to look at in the coming years. Just creepy.

Not to mention the fact that he is Big Energy's favorite guy. Totally in their pocket.
