McCain says the NC GOP is out of touch with reality. Here we have it. The underlings are doing the dirty work. McCain works to distance himself from any negative comments. He comes out on top while the lesser members look like idiots.

The lady chairman looked pretty smart to me. She accomplished her goal. The word is out. I had heard about this man, but now I have seen him in action. The local news station may not run the ad but they showed it on their news. Clinton ought to be hugging her neck. I would think this news should get her at least 10 points. Most NC democrats are very conservative. Obama is not.

Could it be because they want Clinton to be the one running against their boy McCain in November? Or because if either Clinton or McCain are elected in November, they will have a friend for their wealthy corporate cronies and a president who won't challenge the status quo?

It's very strange to see a political party running ads against a candidate for the opposite party during a primary season. I actually don't think I've seen it before. What do you think the purpose is?

You got me. I actually think Obama is the easier candidate to defeat seeing as how he's unable to carry any big state except his own.
