Bush 48 / Kerry 44 in North Carolina says Robo Poll

[??????????]

The thing is if I say New Jersey could be grabbed by the GOP because Bush is only down by 5% I would be ripped. New Jersey is solid Dem. North Carolina is solid GOP.

And I've got a bridge for you in Arizona as well.

Do you think Edwards on the ticket makes NC battleground or are you ignoring more polls you don't like??

North Carolina will go Democrat when Vermont goes Republican. Stick with Mason Dixon. It's a Vorlon approved pollster.

In that case I will also consider New Jersey and Maryland as "in play". They are both within 5 points.

Bush will win NC by 5 in the best case scenario, and 3 in the worst case scenario.  Raleigh is joining the ranks of such other liberal costal cities as Portland and Miami.  Pretty soon, it will have enough people to sway the state to the dems.  The new South is coming, but it won't be here until 2008.

Why do you discount younger folks like myself who are growingly concerned about the leftward swing of our nation. The ex hippies are really messing our predictions on future elections. In about another 20 years we won't have to worry about their radical 60ish politics.

I have no problem with most democrats. What concerns me is the extreme left wingers which seem to be hijacking the party.

[??????????]

The upside is that Dem control of the House will mean that people interested in not spending like drunken sailors will have enough clout to hold back the crazy left wingers.

I also hope they can hold back the whacky social ideas that they have.

right wing nut:  raleigh is a pretty conservative city.

some people on this board think every freakin state is trending democratic.  i.e.  "idaho will be like oregon in 10 years"

To many on this board the GOP is completely collapsing and soon it will be all Democrat. Much like the mock election. Politics is a lot like a pendulum. We swing to the left meet back in the center swing to the right and go back towards the center. Right now we are on the center right. We will swing a little farther right, peak and swing back again. It's a beautiful system actually.
