I once lived in NC for about three years, and was harrassed at work because I was a Catholic. (Not to mention that I voted for Bill Clinton in his first Presidential Election.) I was also a Substitute Teacher who saw KKK recruitment materials passed around in school. Therefore, this dust-up is no revelation to me.

I've lived in NC my entire life, are there race problems, yes, but I've seen just as many problems from northern states. NC is not the state many people here seem to think (backward, racist, stupid). By the way, I've been a public school teacher in Western NC for 17 years and have never seen KKK materials in a school, or read about it, or heard about it. This is not the 1960's south anymore.

HERE WE GO AGAIN …….. The RACE BAITER and his RACE BAITING SURROGATES like JimClyburn from Georgia is trying to cast the only civil rights President, Bill Clinton as a bigot. Barack Obama is the racist, he is the one who said “ TYPICAL WHITE PERSON “. Jim Clyburn as always been a purveyor of RACE BAITING and the obama camp sending him out on the eve of North Carolina primary which have a large black population is suspect. First Read stop saying Jim Clyburn is uncommitted, he’s a obama surrogate and advisor, he’s just trying to hedge his bet just in case obama loses…..” typical black congressman “.

SO TO HILLARY AND BILL CLINTON PUSH BACK HARD ON THESE RACE BAITERS IN THE barack obama “AMATEUR NIGHT ” CAMPAIGN.

When is the media going to call out obama and michelle obama on their racism towards typical white people or is it because if they do, they’ll be call racist.

Can somebody tell me how showing a image of Bin laden in a Hillary AD and showing Jeremiah Wright in a AD is racial. …….. Oh …. I forgot, we are dealing with the RACE BAITER Jim Clyburn and barack obama.

Remember what I wrote last week about the obama camp falling in the OJ Simpson media hype trap. Well the obama camp is doing it again by thinking, because Andrea Mitchell of MSNBC and the New York Times are upset and pushing this Bill Clinton non-race story, is some how shared by the majority of REAL patriotic Americans, then they have another surprise DEFEAT coming in NC and Indiana.

PREDICTIONS …. Hillary will come within 4 pts in NC and beat obama by double digits in Indiana.

…………………. MASTER CARD MOMENT…………….
Watching Rachel Maddow and Richard Wolfe on olbermann try to spin barack obama BIG THUMPING in Pennsylvania. ……” PRICELESS “

There is so much talk about Rev. Wright and Sen. Obama, but does anyone really understand how real Sen. Obama's judgment is?

Clinton and McCain have said that that would have left the church...well I applaud Sen. Obama for not leaving the church. A church is more that its pastor, a church is a community. The good this church has done for the community far outweighs the sound bites of Rev. Wright’s unfortunate choice of words.

Had Sen. Obama left the church, he would have left the very people he has been fighting for his entire career. Perhaps Sen. Clinton and Sen. McCain should read the entire sermon. Perhaps they should have read the entire Iraq study guide as well; evidently these two make their decisions from sound bites.

Sen. Obama shows that he is thoughtful, caring, honest, very intelligent and a fair person. He has strength of character his opponent’s lack. He also has an extraordinary sense of judgment that his opponents also lack. I believe he is the type of person we want leading our Country back from the brink of disaster.

Anything to make a buck.

-They are spinsters looking for validation as women

-They hate men

-They are bitter, jealous, racists both male, and

-They are closed to hope, and full of fear

And now they're saying Obama can't a punch.

What exactly does that mean?

What a cruel, mean spirited country we live in. Wake up people. John McCain IS NOT GOING TO BEAT BARACK OBAMA.

For starters, just in case anyone hasn't noticed, McCain is old, he's out of touch, he's not very intelligent.

How Obama should address the latest Rev Wright flap:

Say that the NC republicans are using the Rev. Wright issue as a distraction, while not addressing the fact that George Bush has dug a hole for the US with his domestic and foreign policies. Obama’s former pastor made comments that Obama does not agree with. This issue is guilt by association and no matter how many times the media and the republicans play those sound bites, it is not going to help create jobs for the American people, bring our troops home from Iraq, or solve the problem of our energy crisis. Reverend Wright is a patriot who served this country honorably as a marine and to paint his career otherwise using those sound bites is an attempt to diminish the important work he has done for this country and his community.

There IS a difference. Second, Purdue and Moore are DEMOCRATRIC candidates not Republican. Daves is a GOP operative commenting on the dirty fighting among the DEMS!! The Republican candidates are running a much more civil and issue-oriented campaign. Hopefully this year we will be able to throw the corrupt and incestuous Dems out of power at the state level and start over with a fresh and constructive leadership in this state.

"Well," Boston, I am a born and bred Yankee who also lived in the Heartland for many years. I am now living very happily in northwest NC, after several decades of part-time residence. This is a very progressive community, believe it or not, probably more so than Boston. Attack Linda Daves all you want; she deserves it, but not North Carolina. And, incidentally, did any of you read Sandy Grady's column in "USAToday" Monday before the Pennsylvania primary. I am a native Philadelphia, and Grady was a columnist for the "Evening Bulletin" for many years, before its demise. He was very prescient in describing the negative role that racist attitudes might play in the Pennsylvania primary. Exit polls seem to indicate he was right. What about that, Boston?

The Republicans are getting exactly what they hoped for: to keep this in the media cycle for as long as possible. We've seen it all before.
Does make you wonder if any of them could win on their own merits, because it seems for many of them, their only hope is by destroying another person.
The ads say a lot more about the person running them,then about the people named and displayed in the ads.

Thats SUCH a hard decision.

The GOP and the Media (and HRC) must really think that the American people are STOOOOOOPID.

Considering that 80% of American think we are going in the WRONG direction with the war AND the economy, and Obama is winning I guess the people aren't so STUPID after all.

I've lived in NC for about 18 months now and some parts of the state are quite progressive (e.g. Raleigh, Greensboro, Charlotte.) Sen Obama is going to win big hear not just because of the black vote, but there are LOTS of white people here that support his candidacy. Hillary and Bill are spending most of their time campaigning in the less educated parts of the state where they feel they can bamboozle the people there into believe she's a "fighter." In reality, she's only fighting for her own quest for power.

I wouldn't be surprised to see a 15 to 20 point victory in NC.

And, it's kinda funny to hear the radio ads from the dems gubernatorial candidates. On the black radio stations, they both tout their strong support of Obama. Moore even has a radio ad that says "Richard Moore was the FIRST candidate to support Barack Obama..."
