The Opinionator:
Also, news stories in the Raleigh area covering the end of the early voting showed huge lines and waits of well over an hour. Each of the local Raleigh TV stations showed these lines and they were in predominantly African-American neighborhoods and the lines reflected that demographic.

I’m not so sure about that. I was up in Cary on Saturday and while there was a substantial wait for early voting, most of the folks in line there looked pretty European to me – AND a lot of them were sporting Hillary buttons/badges. I think what you were seeing on TV was more a projection of the stations’ wishful thinking than objective reporting.

And down here near Fayetteville, early voting’s been pretty evenly divided between the Obamanites and Hill’s Hags.

However it goes tomorrow, I won’t be surprised. Only wish I’d taken part in Operation Chaos, but since we have a closed primary, I’m stuck with a Republican ballot.

however with the way that delegates are distributed by the Democrats thats hard to makeup, unless they add Florida and Michigan..

That may be the case but Obama is strong with the black vote in NC as well as the college students in the traiangle. He wins NC easily and I would not be surprised if he wins by double digits.

Both Dem candidates don’t suffer from that same tactical limitation. They will do whatever it takes and have the backers (soros – media) to back their plays. No limit.

A McCain win will be depended on a fearless and convincing VP to say and do what he won’t.

That’s the chaos.

Y’all just wait a bit. If Hillary gets the nomination, she will start treating McCain and Republicans the way she always has. Then, you’ll remember why you despised her in the first place. Also, when the right siders come out of their current Hillary swoon, the AA community is gone as well, because she will have “stolen” the nomination from their guy.

I hope you are right.
I WANT TO BELIEVE.

The Times reports that Obama and Clinton enjoy strong leads against John McCain, but it’s easy to reach that conclusion when the sample includes twice as many Democrats as Republicans. The sample comprises 283 Democrats, 148 Republicans, and 170 registered independents

That’s ridiculous. I think media bias is sometimes the unintentional result of most of the journalists being liberal, but this kind of stuff is intentionally deceptive. An 11% lead with a sample like that is not good news for Obama. That’s a break-even at best.

There obviously isn’t a lot of passion in the base for McCain, and likewise, a lot of the passion against Hillary has drained away.

If Hillary wins NC, my money says the Dems nominate her, and she wins in November.

Not that I want it. But that’s how I’d wager.

Yep. One of the downsides of Operation Chaos may be the dulling of the anti-Hillary movement.

I see you like to stereotype. Know any funny racial jokes?

Their problem is that Hillary may not be any better.

I don’t know about that.

The main thing the GOP always had going with Hillary was that the right hated her so completely.

Is that true anymore?

Look at all the popcorn eating Chaosers around here who are rooting her on even as they claim they’ll hold their noses and vote for ” Juan McShamnesty” or not vote for him at all. There obviously isn’t a lot of passion in the base for McCain, and likewise, a lot of the passion against Hillary has drained away.

If Hillary wins NC, my money says the Dems nominate her, and she wins in November.

Not that I want it. But that’s how I’d wager.

Yeah, but when they vote again this Tuesday, they’ll be voting for Hillary!

What a fake!
