Obama push straight-ticket voting


Democrats straight-ticket mailerState Democrats are pushing straight-ticket voting.

The state Democratic Party has sent a mailer to North Carolina voters featuring a photo of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama standing next to Senate candidate Kay Hagan and another with gubernatorial candidate Beverly Perdue.

"Barack Obama, Kay Hagan & Bev Perdue for the change we need," it reads.

The mailer includes information on registering at early voting sites and voting a straight-ticket ballot, which in North Carolina requires voting for president separately from the rest of the down-ballot races.

It is highly unusual for state Democrats to tie themselves so closely to the presidential nominee, but Obama is ahead in several recent polls.

Re: Obama push straight-ticket voting

I hope you are not referring to McCrory or Dole as far as improving things. What don't you understand about 8 years of Bush's misadministration causing every state to be corrupted? These Republicans are Bush puppets and would bring Wall Street to Main Street, North Carolina. Is that the change you think we need??? I beg to differ, and so does anyone who has followed the "careers" of Dole and McCrory.

Re: Obama push straight-ticket voting

ALL of them are definitely NOT what NC needs at this time.

Hey NC democrats, how bout allowing others in to improve things? Your 100+ years of democrat domination has CORRUPTED our once great state!

BACK OFF, NC democrats! We need REAL CHANGE!!!
