Will: Obama may win N.C.


George F. Will says an Obama win here is possible.

In a column today, the conservative commentator seems to indicate that he thinks Barack Obama may even win North Carolina: 

Seven states with 60 electoral votes have voted Democratic only once since 1964: North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, Montana, Colorado and Arizona. It will not be startling if Obama carries two — Colorado and North Carolina. In 2004, Bush carried them by 4.7 and 12.4 percentage points, respectively.

Okay, Ranger, so you'd lay someone off based upon a bumper sticker on their car. Now supposing their spouse (or someone else) had put the sticker on the car?

I can't wait to read the headline "Six Weichert employees sue realtor for wrongful termination."

Re: Fellow Business Owners

I think you're just joking, but you might not want to actually fire your employees because of their political beliefs.

It's technically legal, but it can lead to unfavorable news coverage.

Fellow Business Owners

Dear Fellow Business Owners As a Business owner who employs 30 people, I have resigned myself to the fact that Barack Obama, will be our next President, and that my Taxes and Fees, will go up in a BIG way. To compensate for these increases, I figure, that the Customer, will have to see an increase in my fees to them of about 8%. I will also have to lay off 6 of my employees. This really bothered me as I believe we are family, here and didn't know how to choose who will have to go. So, this is what I did. I strolled through the parking lot and found 8 Obama bumper stickers on my employees cars. I have decided these folks will be the first to be laid off. I can't think of another fair way.

The one thing John McCain cannot overcome is the fact he is a Republican
and has been one the past eight years and has approved of most of Mr Bush's
actions by his votes.
