Linda Daves says McCain has NC all wrapped up..

[slacker921]

From a recent NC GOP e-mail..

Linda Daves, the chairwoman of the N.C. Republican Party, said during the opening ceremony that the GOP is picking up momentum as the general election approaches.

"This is a big year; I think the Democrats should be worried," she said. "Anyone that thinks that this state won't vote McCain for president is out of touch with North Carolina."

Registered voters as of today:
Democratic: 2,675,955
Republican: 1,938,835
Unaffiliated: 1,289,247

How NC voted in 2004:
John F. Kerry / John Edwards DEM 1,525,849
George W. Bush / Dick Cheney REP 1,961,166
Michael Badnarik / Richard Campagna LIB 11,731

Registered voters on election day November, 2004:
Democratic: 2,582,462
Republican: 1,903,119
Unaffiliated: 1,021,648


I guess she must be expecting a LOT of Democrats and independents to stay home again. Somehow I think the Democrats are just a tiny bit more excited about Obama then they were about Kerry. Maybe it's just me.

Im having a hard time thinking of a state McCain will win.

 

[MRoCkEd]

If McCain loses, I hope he loses HARD.

 

[pacelli]

I'd really be shocked if my state votes for McCain. There are many mindless republicans who will just vote R straight down the ballot, but they are far far outnumbered by the huge college-age population that have been hit by the Obamites. My entire county is sending out emails left and right about registering to vote for obama, and just set up an obama HQ a few miles away.

Chuck Baldwin

Well, I know that I will not be voting McCain. I'm a Ron Paul supporter and cannot see voting for someone that is that different, and liberal. I hold to conservative of view to vote for him, and believe too much in the Constitution. I'm voting for Chuck Baldwin, or rather I'll be writing him in on Election Day. He is the Constitution Party's nominee for President, and the closest to Ron Paul that you can find. I support Baldwin wholeheartedly.

www.electoral-vote.com shows NC as "Barely GOP"
so she's posturing/wishful thinking

and even if NC goes for McCain, its not enough for McCain to beat Obama
http://www.electoral-vote.com/
if you click on NC you can see NC polling over time
but McCain has gained a good deal on Obama in the last few weeks.

Why do they say "unaffiliated" when the LP is the only other registered party in NC?

 

[ItsTime]

Why do they say "unaffiliated" when the LP is the only other registered party in NC?

do you have to declare a party in NC?

 

[BryanGreene2008CCC]

Why do they say "unaffiliated" when the LP is the only other registered party in NC?

They say Unaffiliated because it is a voter affiliation choice to not be affiliated (or unaffiliated) with ANY political party. Libertarian Party is its own, which is now listed as well on the State Board of Elections, because they just recently gained ballot access again. It is just hard though, because they tend to lose ballot access each election year as well, because our elections laws (or ballot access laws rather) are so strict. That is why I am having such a hard time getting on the ballot as an Independent, and having to go through a lawsuit, because the states requires 3rd Parties and Unaffiliated candidates to do a lot. I hope that helps.

Yeah in NC, when you register to vote you do have to choose a party (or lack thereof). The current choices due to Ballot Access Restrictions are Democrat, Republican, Libertarian (who JUST recently go access) and Unaffiliated. So if you do not desire to affiliated with the Democratic, Republican or Libertarian Parties, you would declare as an Unaffiliated voter. Our laws keep the other 3rd Parties off, such as the Constitution Party and Green Party.

Bryan, will write-in votes for Chuck Baldwin be counted? Im getting conflicting reports. I know he will not be ON the ballot, but was unsure if a write-in would be acknowledged.

Linda Daves is a lying %!&@# and will be removed from her position as NC State Chair in 2009.

McCain won the primaries with the independent votes.

I suspect the black voters will turn out like never before though.

I hope to god that she does get thrown out of the NC GOP

Why would they throw out one of their own?

No, write-in votes will not be counted in North Carolina for Chuck Baldwin due to several reasons. The best way to explain this, will be to quote my son, Jordon Greene (President of the North Carolinians for Free and Proper Elections)

Chuck Baldwin is not on the ballot for a couple reasons in North Carolina. One is because, as others have stated, that NC has strict ballot access laws. Otherwise, is due to not enough people helping out the Constitution Party of North Carolina in gathering the needed 500 signatures across the state to qualify Baldwin. Then, there is also the problem that the Party was given incorrect information on a number of occasions from the NC State Board of Elections about the Deadline, and that the State Board of Elections web site has posted inaccurate and misleading information as to the deadline, which caused a sudden cut in the time that the Party had thought was open to gather petitions.

Basically it is due to restrictive laws, inaccurate information, and not enough people stepping up to help the Party.

NC is a red state. So are SC, Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Arkansas etc... McCain will win the south. That's just facts. Tones

"Anyone that thinks that this state won't vote McCain for president is out of touch with North Carolina."

--Linda Daves

Obama won North Carolina. So it appears that Linda Daves is the one who's out of touch with NC.

"NC is a red state."

--tonesforjonesbones

Not this year.

Obama won NC. The Democrats also defeated incumbent Republican Senator Elizabeth Dole, and held on to both the governor's mansion and the state attorney general's office.

So unfortunately, North Carolina is VERY BLUE this year.

Republicans keep running liberals, moderates and neocons for office---then wonder why they get their butts kicked on election day.

North Carolina will vote for conservative Republicans like Jesse Helms and John East, but they're not going to vote for the phonies that the Republican party has been trying to shove down their throats in recent years.

 

[slacker921]

you know.. on election night that statement from Linda Daves kept rolling around in my head. After seeing her in action at the NC GOP convention (and how she treated the Ron Paul supporters) I have a hope for her future in the GOP.

So here's a proposal...... think of this:

"Anyone that thinks that this state won't vote McCain for president is out of touch with North Carolina."
