Something's off here. Shuler and McIntyre were the only two Dems to vote FOR restricting choice. Everyone else was against the amendment.

Nevermind, I see. The post has nothing to do with the title.

Amazing that he exhibited such backbone like the football player Shuler D-NC11th district! We are proud of Heath for HIS NO vote and look forward to everyone paying for THEIR OWN healthcare insurance across state lines!

Taxpayers can NO LONGER pay for others' healthcare...period. Its not a function of our government.

"As for Kissell, his 'no' vote is close to inexplicable given the heavy black population in his district (28 percent)"

Well, if we're going to make generalizations about Jesse Helms' "bloc vote" (which is pathetic in itself; apparently even the WaPo believes "black voters" to be unquestioning pawns of the Democratic Machine), then we have to say that Kissell knows those same voters who voted +5 for BHO will most likely not vote in his re-election campaign.

Its a statistical fact that until last year, voter turnout among the voting bloc was lower than optimal.

He's just playing good politics.

Speak for your(arrogant)self PoliticalJunkie. You surely do NOT speak for me.

Just the Democratic Party?

He's a disgrace to all North Carolinians.

This man is a disgrace to the Democrat party. I truly hope he receives a Primary from a Black candidate

Jordan almost defeated Jim Black.

Wow. Which game did he almost win in? Horseshoes, hand-grenades, losing hair pre-maturely or trying to get the people that know him best to vote for him in a local election against a really bad guy?

Who is the pre-maturely bald guy Alex?

I wish I could say Hal would come in 7th in a 5-man primary, but they keep coming out of the woodwork, so I have no idea how bad he's going to lose this time.

Have you heard about the old retired Colonel that got swamped by some lady named Maggie Dickson in his last run for public office? I hear the NRCC won't give anyone like Hal the time of day now. This Colonel guy who lost his last election, was a COLONEL!

And we all know those grunt voters and veterans that live near Fort Bragg love Colonels. Retired Colonel's really get it!

Stellar insight as always, Gigglebox. But just a couple of points about Hal Jordan...

For one, anybody who has the same name as the Green Lantern shouldn't be ashamed.

For two, Jordan almost defeated Jim Black, author of the Democrats' Book of Virtues, in that hellishly gerrymandered district in 2006, which if you'll remember, was the year that ACORN had all of their buses running on time. So I'm figuring he'll finish at least 4th.

They really need to take internet access out of the public schools.

Is that Hal Jordan's position, or you just sayin' cmitchz?

BTW, why won't "Hal" (if that is his real name) admit he's a REPUBLICAN on his website?

Shame perhaps?

Also, loaning yourself $300 grand to prove a point to Mike Steele (the African American head of the new and improved and slick GOP) just makes the whole 5-guy Republican "primary" (where your party already made the black guy an NRCC Young Gun) kinda a formality.

Tim D'Crazio is your frontrunner in spite of what Mike Steele sez. "Hal," a close 5th.

Giggle.

Hal Jordan of Charlotte is also running.

So is my cat TagAlong who recently ate a dollar of mine, so I guess she's 100 pennies ahead of Hal Jordan!

Ya'll are fun. Go Tim D'whatever!

Full disclosure: My cat thinks she's sooo special and hardly ever answers emails. That's why I support Tim D'whatever. He's rich.

How about the Time of Day for Darrell Day? Why can't the N&O link to his website too?
