Reply #42: Call Me A Cynic... [View All]

I'm still amazed President Obama carried NC in '08...shows how far this state has come. However, we're talking '92 here (I think) and Helms had quite a machine up and running in that state...a lot of us were following that race closely. Didn't Dean Smith once come out for a candidate that ran against Helms? You'd think he'd have a bit more influence on the "good old boys".

Sadly the racist divide has reared its ugly head in the past two years and I think we're seeing in some that their stereotypes and hatred rise above any "respect"...that only lasts as long as he keeps winning. I do think it'd be an interesting study, and I'm sure if we poked around, there is one out there, about how an endorsement affects the way people vote.

Cheers...
