The boogeyman for conservatives comes everyday, and his name is newspapers, tv, college, cable, movies, neighbors, church, people outside, the MAJORITY...

Thank Gawd real conservatives that keep their genes in the family don't have Internet access, but have sturdy basements to protect their black boxes to talk to God.

I just made up a word. Tardation!

Take a bath in it Paul Terrall. Mmmmmmm.

Tard....dation.

Don't worry Democratic voter Ben Niolet, at UNC only boogeymen for liberals get the brick-through-the-window treatment.

Ha. Ha. Ha.

Threatening reporters is funny.

So does Art Pope teach this school of commentary in the traditional 4 years, or 2.5 like most Internet degrees?

Gee i don't think this 1 million compares to the 8 million by the Democrat senators.
Signing cards that everyone can see is a form of intimidation as opposed to a secret ballot. These people that want signed public cards are insulting my intelligence. Will we start having signed cards for political elections? No, of course not. Then why not have a secret ballot for whether to unionize or not.

Re: GOP's delusional plan for 2008?

That's a wonderful plan, unfortunately it doesn't match up with reality. Rasmussen polling from the end of October shows that Sen. Clinton does rather well in several southern states, one of them being North Carolina.

The specifics on NC from Rasmussen:

"Clinton earns 43%-44% of the vote when matched against Giuliani, Thompson, or McCain. That’s enough for the former First Lady to be tied with Thompson (44% -44%) and McCain (43% - 43%) while trailing Giuliani by just a single percentage point (44% - 43). She does just a bit better against Mitt Romney, leading the former Governor of Massachusetts 46% to 41%."

"And those are, not coincidentally, the same years, and the only years, that we have elected a Republican governor."

I assume Bill G. means the only years in his memory. Let's not forget Republican Governors W.W. Holden (elected 1868), Tod Caldwell (elected 1872) and Daniel L. Russell (elected 1896).

Also, while Bill has a point, there is also evidence to the contrary. In 2000 and in 2004, Al Gore and John Kerry, respectively, did about as well or worse in NC than Mike Dukakis did in 1988. And yet, Easley was elected both years.
