How could anyone possibly attempt to challenge Obama when he has an army of geniuses like you making the case for his re-election?

I'll throw in West Virginia and Kentucky for good measure.

Mr. steal your pension and load up with debt Romney will not be able to get 10% of the white working class men in NC. Too many are out of work thanks to con.eco. theory

Lol 35%?? You are just making numbers up now aren't you??

Obama did poorly with white working class voters in 08 as well. Obama was never going to do well in western NC (outside of Asheville) or in the white parts of eastern NC, However, that isn't where the people are. The Triangle is going to be an absolute obliteration.

Hey, at least Romney's wife works hard when she tells her maids and nannies what to do.

The average American should be able to relate to this quite easily.

Great point. Also worth noting is the overreach and subsequent backlash against state Republicans after they took back the legislature in 2010. We've already got Tillis and others walking back Amendment One before anyone's even voted on it. Nobody covering the race outside NC seems to know about this but it's just as important as whoever's at the top of the ticket. Maybe Romney will benefit from McCrory's reverse coattails.

35's a bit low but 38-39% is definitely in the cards. He got 43% of the white vote nationwide in 2008 but that was likely a fluke. I'd put it at about 40 plus or minus 1.

Romney looks to be hurting from having at least 6 relatives who are supporting Ron Paul for president. His relatives don't think he would do a good job of supporting the U. S. Constitution.
