Thank goodness the Triad, Piedmont and mountain counties offset The Triangle and N.E. coastal plain with Charlotte and the S.E. counties in the middle.

That's the first time anyone has thanked God for the Triad.

Upon closer review, God was not mentioned in that "right" post. Shocking.

"That's the first time anyone has thanked God for the Triad."

LOL

Most polls are showing Obama and McCain neck and neck.

I wonder into the near future this will qualify NC as a "purple" state in future national elections...

interesting for a poll comprised of 50% democrats and 32% republicans...looks like this poll split right along party lines of those polled with a fairly even split with the independants

yeah I heard on the good morning america that they are afraid people are saying they are going to vote one way and when it comes down to the nitty gritty....so who really knows... There may be some people rolled over in their graves when this is over for one thing or another!!

Flashlight, If you look closer you will see that Obama is ahead in the newest poll, dated 9/23. The one I posted was released today. I do not know if this was taken before McCain's implosion with Letterman, or him ducking out of the race.

Nothing against polls but is 541 people a good respresntation of Wake County?

I would sure like to know where all these Obama supporters are. I don't know a single person that will vote for him.

It's because of all the Yamn Dankees that have moved in. I'm educated, I'm voting for McCain.

I think a few hundred people is a reasonable sample from a single county, but I'm no statistician. Wake County moving heavily Democrat is fairly significant; it's the most conservative of the 3 counties that make up the Triangle.

541 people is a large sample. Some pollsters use less than that for whole states!

McCain showed this week that he is unable to handle pressure. He almost ducked out of the debate, lied to Letterman on Wednesday, and he has a ditz for a running mate.

My entire immediate and extended family will be voting for Obama on November 4th. I polled them recently at the family reunion. I have a mix of military veterans and hardcore Republicans in my fam. BTW my family is white. My grandmother who is 90 years old will be casting her vote for Obama.

541 a large sample??? Guess I learned something new today.

Yes sadly, we can expect our taxes to quadruple as a result of the influx. Then they will move on to another place and ruin that. Given what Kay Hagan has done in the State Legislature, only a fool would vote for her. But some people seem to like to be taxed to death. Probably because they stupidly believe someone else will be taxed.

"I would sure like to know where all these Obama supporters are. I don't know a single person that will vote for him."

Vice versa for me. Other than my old stubborn dad and my bible-beating sister, I don't know a single person voting for Grandpa and the She-Slayer.

Obama still is not getting my vote.He's a racist and hates krackahs

Joke I heard last night:

Do you know the difference between a flower and a hockey mom?

Answer: One has both male and female reproductive parts, and one's a flower. ZING!

I saw a few posts on where are the supporters for McCain or Obama..I guess it depends on where you are..In the community where I reside there are no Obama signs to be seen anywhere. With that said Im sure I could drive to another community and see no McCain signs.

"Obama still is not getting my vote.He's a racist and hates krackahs"

I hear that McCain is ahead with the inbreds in the latest Public Policy Inbred Poll. It is okay that you think he is a racist. I personally think that McCain is an old out of touch moron.

'I guess it depends on where you are.."

Where are you USAF?

LOL @willow!

Im in Wayne County...Not speaking for the whole county though, just my little neck of the woods

Yeah I would think ECU (which is in Wayne, right) would be pro-dem. The deeper into NC you go you find a more conservative base. It doesn't surprise me that your area is pro-McCain.

ECU is in Greenville which is Pitt County and very well maybe pro dem. Wayne County has Seymour Johnson AFB

"McCain showed this week that he is unable to handle pressure." ARE YOU JOKING???? HELLO....OsamaObama is using this for publicity...at least McCain was willing to go to Washington to TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS...AS USUAL...Obama is clueless so he was trying to duck out of it...What could he do??..push his 'present button'...

I grew up in Wayne County. Their idea of a liberal is someone who only flies the Confederate flag on holidays.

I'm exaggerating, of course. (Not really)

LOL Willow..I didnt grow up here but I know what you are saying..Ive only been here for 7 years

I dont think McCain is much of a racist considering he adopted "BLACK" child..

Another reason to resent Yankees, I guess.

I cannot see him winning johnston county, but who knows now a days

"541 people is a large sample. Some pollsters use less than that for whole states!"

I'm not a statistician, but from what I remember from classes I took decades ago, the size of the population is less important than the size of the sample. That is, there is still some minimum number you need in your sample in order to have any meaningful results, even if your total population is small.

The smaller the sample, the bigger the margin for error.

All that being said, I doubt these results. They are too contrary from historical results, even on less controversial races. All these races will be very close in Wake County IMO.

Neither party is looking out for our best interest. Follow the money trail, especially with this Bail out mess.

susanbanks44 - ah it is good you have a farm or should I say cooperative. Amazing to me that anyone would vote for this racist, but hey it is your vote. I am still trying to figure out, who I will vote for; it will not be either one of the two bought and paid for Senators that are being offered up. Oh and thank Obama for the large part he played in the crushing the housing industry and the banking industry.
