I totally agree with you

How old are you? I guess you are perfect. I am a Clinton supporter but I know how to add. Furthermore, Clinton and Obama have a past. They have both done things in their lives. We have also done things in our lives that we wish we could take back. The bottom line is that people like you should look in the mirror before you start passing judgment. As much as I prefer Clinton, she would need to win 65%-70% of the remaining contest to get close and she would still be behind. If Obama is the nominee, I will vote for him. If you are a true Democrat, you would vote for a Democrat.

As far as Florida and Michigan, the rules were not followed. My daughter is 5 and she understands the rules game.

The Republicans do not want to run against Obama. Why do you think they are going after him instead of Clinton. Clinton is one of them.

The 527 know what they are doing. If Clinton was the frontrunner they would be going after her. The Clintons are due in court tomorrow...here in Los Angeles, Ca over the biggest fraud case in American history. The Clintons do not want that to get out to the media.

If you don't believe me...go to the web and check out the "trial case with Peter Paul vs Clinton fraud case.

The Clintons are also under investigation for other fraud case. The Clinton also have a circle of friends that should be questioned.

Are you kidding me? I am sure that 95% of the people on this site have done something in their lives that they would like to take back.

Well I know they vote democratic in state and local elections. Still, interesting.

Checked the precinct link, again, you are correct.

They are Reagan Democrats. Every state has them. North Carolina's happens to vote Republican for President but on local issues vote Democratic.

Also, the 2006 Precinct link is a completely different set of data.

interesting demographics, I wonder why NC always goes Republican in the presidential elections since there are fewer registered republicans than dems? I guess that's why the republicans are starting the 527 ads here, need to keep NC in the republican camp to win in Nov.

Actually the website indicates those numbers were compiled by precinct in 2006, even if posted as 2007 and last "updated" in January 2008.

bnartist, the Rezko projects were a combination of taxpayer and private funding. They were set up so that if they failed, Rezko et al did not have to repay the loans. There are several articles linking similar low-income public/private funded projects to the failure of the credit market for housing. These are, of course, written by right wing conservatives, but aren't we talking about what right wing conservatives will be able to use against Obama if he becomes the nominee? I thought that was what the topic was.

Why do Obama supporters always cry racism whenever there is a discussion critical of Obama?

Yes, they are 2007 numbers, but compiled and posted on 1/2/2008

I found the state website, thanks. Looks like your numbers are from 2007, but you are right, NC is not majority black democrats.

The North Carolina State Board of Elections.

As of January 2, 2008 (refutes the nice little cross over argument you've created) there are 2,511,446 registered Democrats--1,472,854 are white and 947,321 are black.

Facts are Phun

Over half? Is that with the new republican cross overs who have changed their registrations just to manipulate this election? w\Where do you get your data?

I'm happy to be proven wrong, just show me the data.

Limbaugh only asked the republicans who were crossing over to defeat Clinton to start voting for Clinton so as to keep the dem primary going and suck Obama's funding dry.

Check out all the republican cross-overs who had already signed up as volunteers in Texas who confessed they had no intention of voting for Obama in November.

Note that some of the people posting comments on the RFO were Republicans from Wyoming who did the same thing.

Over half of the registered Democrats in North Carolina are whites. Go back and check your talking points. Better yet, just scrap the talking points.

Anyone know where this other 527 ad about Obama's links to shady characters can be found? The one they mentioned last night during the campaign coverage?
