the early vote turnout has surpassed 2 million voters in North Carolina. That's getting close 65% of the entire turnout in 2004.

Just awesome. No matter who you vote for, these numbers say great things about our country and the fact that people are involved in the democracy again.

Dem Backing McCain — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 13:29:08 GMT

The South maybe changing some but not that much ! Those states Obama has a 2-3 point lead in......
1. there just polls
2. Dems rush out in early voting and reps have waited, so I'm not putting much faith in those numbers !!!

One interesting poll number I heard this morning is that 46% of Whites are supporting Obama (compared to 47% supporting McCain). If this number holds on Election Day (along with African-American and Hispanic support), then it's pretty much in the bag for Obama.

I wonder what Joe [not] the Plumber is going to do when McCain loses. He'd better hope his record deal works out.

I hope Obama marches into Arizona and Alaska and JUAT TRY... He may be surprised that the home town folks don't really support their candidates as strongly as they would like.
Many do not approve of the politics they are exercising.

Give it a try, Barack! What's there to lose?

Just keeps looking better and better that Obama will win many of the battleground states and the election in 4 days. I hope that Obama puts some resources into Georgia and Arizona. That would be too funny if McNasty lost his own home state.

Why is MSNBC tv wasting so much time showing that despicable Wicked Witch of Alaska? I just switch channels and wait until I think she's done lying. That's too funny that now a large majority of people polled think she's not even ready to be VP. She is the reason McNasty is losing this election.

Go Obama/Biden 08/12!

First, how sad is it that the republican's power based in the south was reliant on rednecked racism!

Second, what the heck is going on in the states with these election problems? Its so clear that the republicans were setting up new registrants up for failure...dont' tell them what they need to know, such as the photocopying of ID to be attached to absentee ballots, and holding them liable for not doing so, even though they weren't told to do it! Its such a clear form of republican shinanigans to cheat their way in power. When will someone wake up, and say, we need to federalize the voting sytem in this country, and make a uniform set rule that applies equally in every state, and make it as crystal clear as anything.

If Obama loses, its because of repulbican cheating at the polls and voter purges.

Mark Warner is intelligent to separate himself from Obama. A year in which the sitting GOP president has an approval rating in the low/mid-20's; the 'right track' percentage is about 9%; the economy is tanking; and the democratic candidate can only get 50%-52% in the most optimistic polls? There's something structural at work there--and the backlash in 2010 will be enormous.

It's about time the GOP is loosening it's grip on the southern regions. their residents are getting younger and more educated, and that's a good thing. It's time for them to come into the 21st century.

FR: "But demographic changes - including a migration of voters from other regions, as well as an increase in education and racial tolerance among some younger residents - have given Barack Obama and other Democrats an opening..."

Its a great point. Because people in general are more mobile now than in the past, it really points to a future in which regional differences will be blurred.

Jay the New American — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 14:01:20 GMT

What this election really is about is young Americans want to live a New America, finally leaving racial issues behind. McCain represents a transition from a time when black Americans could not vote but die for their country in a war to the Civil Rights movement (shamefully only South Africa was slower than us) but barely beyond. Barack is the New America, transitioning into real integration, a real unit of one indivisible country where finally young black kids can look up to role models and realize that the American Dream is alive for everybody and there are real choices to make between prosperity and a life in despair, ignorance, crime and drugs. Obviously, many whites are afraid of the new competition that will arise from that black empowerment, however, in the end we will all benefit. What can this country become, once we use our whole potential, is truely inspiring. If that means that us white people have to work a little harder too to get our piece of the cake, then so be it. Ultimately, the cake will be bigger, and it will be more tasty in many respects as well.

FR: "...as of Monday 35,620 first-time voters whose identity had not been verified requested mail ballots. Those voters should have been instructed to photocopy their driver's license or other identification and include it when they mailed back their ballots."

Kind of makes you wonder how well those instructions were communicated to people trying to register.

How sad is it that the Republican party has to rely so heavily on uneducated bigots to keep them in power... And has anyone else noticed that Republicans are behind virtually every story that comes out about the purging of registration logs? I find it detestable that Republicans will make such an effort to keep people away on election day.

Oh and one more thing: the new division in this country is an old one that has been covered by racial divide, religious issues, and fear, promoted by the Republicans and special interest groups to stay in power. The newly discovered division is financial and eliminates old party lines as struggling independent and republican voters wake up and smell the roses. Thats why so many support Obama, despite many concerns. The next election will be a landslide and change the political landscape for good.

It is good to our fellow Americans from the South changing their views, and voting on the facts. This whole silly, and insane view that some parts of our nation are more American than others. The insanity of one of the "Messengers of Misinformation" speaking for the "Insane McCain" Campaign stating that there are two parts of Virginia. Is our "Confederate Soldier" General Ptotenhauer going to dress up in her Confederate Unioniform today? Maybe she will run up, and down the DC area waving her Confederated Flag yelling. "Charge!" So my fellow Americans living in the DC area. If you see a lady in a Confederate Uniform, waving a Confederate Flag running around your street. Please call 911, because Nancy Ptotenhauer escaped from the hospital again.

White female NC voter for Obama — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 14:15:33 GMT

It’s been amazing to see the high turnout of early voters in North Carolina. I have already early voted myself and everyone is very enthusiastic about this election which is so great to see. From old to young, white to black and all in between, everyone wants their vote to count this year! We all deserve to be heard and I think it will be loud and clear come Nov. 4th that we want/need Obama!

The very sad thing about the south, and probably most of the country, is that some people still seem to care more about the color of this man’s skin than they do about the content of his character and his policies to help turn America around. When are we ever going to get over the race factor?
