Recent internal polls showing Brannon ahead of Tillis, Thom getting desperate

[Southron]

FWIW, I early voted Saturday in Randolph County. Tillis had 0 presence there and the local Tea Party group was handing out voting guides with Brannon as the choice.

This is why Robin Hayes (ex chair of NCGOP) and a bunch of the NCGOP staffers got Harris into the race and are working for him. He's the backup plan.

These people are so evil.

Are you going to help out at any polls and spread the info?

No, and here's why. Brannon volunteers around the state have reported catching Tillis volunteers in the act of putting out Harris signs in places where Brannon signs have mysteriously disappeared. This indicates that the Tillis campaign has now gone over to Plan B: get Harris into 2nd place so that if Tillis can't get to 40%, Harris will be his opponent. Harris will then either graciously decline to ask for a runoff, or he'll be so weak (he only really has strong support in Charlotte, Winston-Salem, and a couple of rural counties) that Tillis can cruise to victory without spending much more money.

Ah ok good info A. That would explain why I see so many Harris signs but little else in the way of show of support for Harris (not many 75yo evangelicals go out sign planting). The GOP sure is determined to keep doubling down on pissing us off with their stunts, with no regard for the future of the party.

I wont be back in NC until Thursday or Friday. Several of my friends and family will be voting for Brannon.

At the same time, Rand Paul won with support from around the country. Just because his last name isnt Paul doesnt mean Brannon doesnt deserve national support.

And, looking at Harris' Facebook page, hopefully comments like "Catawba county is Mark Harris country" don't ring true tomorrow.

Several Brannon signs went missing in the three precincts by me this afternoon.

It's amazing how these hypocrites are constantly accusing us of playing dirty, when it's never actually us and always actually them. These hypocrites better be awfully glad that Christ lives in me, because the temptation to return the favor but worse is pretty strong.

Second irony: One of their primary complaints against us is that we are allegedly ungodly while they are God's chosen. Yet, in their immorality they will use our morality against us, to gain worldly temporal advantage through theft and deception - safe in the knowledge that because we are more moral than they are we will not retaliate.

Considering that God is real, how do they think that is going to play out in the judgement? Do they seriously think that God will overlook theft and deception because they were doing 'God's work?' Or is their entire claim to Christ a sham from the start?

It's sad, really. Sad for the condition of their souls, and even more sad for the general public whom they work to deceive. America is due for a reckoning with God, and when the so-called "Christian Right" are called to the plate by God Himself as being primarily responsible for the fallen corrupt and sinful condition of this Nation, they will be the ONLY ones who are surprised.

Actually have to disagree here... they showed Conway up 12% over Rand at a time when just the state fair drained all campaign supplies from the whole state. At the events, like 1 in 4 people had a Rand fan... it was crazy. On the ground, it was euphorically pro-Rand everywhere. Conway was never ahead. All that said, as I recall, accuracy is rated just within the final month, and there they have been one of the more accurate ones. Guess we'll just have to find out.

You must be mistaken because their last poll showed Rand with a 15 point lead.

As much as I dislike her rhetoric, I wish Ann Coulter would talk up the support she gave Brannon before.

Sometimes I wonder if we're too principled and ethical for politics. But then I remember the alternative and my bolded RP sig quote motivates me again.

It will be an interesting day tomorrow. I hate to say it but Im kinda expecting the votes to be rigged just enough to give Tillis something like 40.3% and a "win". All these corporate polls putting Tillis in the 40-50% range, and PPP's today putting him at EXACTLY 40%, look like conditioning for this result. I hope Im wrong.....but then I remember Frank. The shenanigans never stop.

Don't worry, I'm sure there are plenty of equally unprincipled people among us to balance it out.

Really, Gunny? Didn't think there was a Tillis faction in Franklin. Brannon signs over my way remain in place. Only the Sheriff's signs are being vandalized.

 

[francisco]

I'm starting to get keyed up and I live on the opposite coast!

What time do the polls close?

Links to local reporting tomorrow would be appreciated!

My guess and hope is that there will be a mini-surge of participation on the forum Tuesday evening.

Hopefully a harbinger for rabid enthusiasm & involvement to come

I'm trying to call from home for Brannon but his page isn't working for me, anybody else getting the same problems?

I don't know whose supporters are doing it, but remember that "Major Dave" lives here.

Is this the same Dave?

No, "Major Dave" is actually much worse. And even more of a hypocrite, if you can believe it. He tries to tell me that my views are unwanted because I only picked up 15% in a State Senate primary, and then he goes and gets 6% in the Vice Chair race and thinks his views are still desired by the Party. Both f these Daves, however, hate me solely for my position on the marriage amendment.

Isnt this pretty much campaigning 101? How many times have we seen underdog candidates say they are winning in some secret internal polls right before the election?
