I realize that this is the washington post, and they probably scoured the entire state
looking for confused republicans, but there apparently really ARE republicans that are
legitimately supporting Baroque Obama in november.

Quote
Republicans Give Mixed Reasons for Obama Votes

GRANGER, Ind. -- Voters make their choices for all kinds of reasons, then leave it to the analysts to figure out what it means.

At the Harris Township Fire Department, Sen. Barack Obama picked up votes from some Republicans who may support him in November and one who almost certainly will not.

That would be Mark Maglioa, 48, whose vote for the Illinois senator was purely strategic.

Maglioa said Obama has been speaking with a "forked tongue" about his history with the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr., the longtime leader of Chicago's Trinity United Church of Christ.

Wright performed Obama's marriage and baptized his two daughters. One of his sermons inspired the talismanic title of Obama's most recent memoir, "The Audacity of Hope."

"For 20 years, he was an inspired member of that church, and then the dirty laundry got pulled out on the clothes line," said Magioa, who was unimpressed when Obama broke with Wright last week, following a series of Wright statements about the AIDS virus, U.S. foreign policy and the wisdom of Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan that Obama denounced as "rants."

Yet Maglioa voted for Obama.

Why? Because as a supporter of likely Republican nominee Sen. John McCain, Maglioa aimed to help the Arizona senator by boosting the Democrat he considers the weakest November opponent.

"Barack Hussein Obama," Maglioa said, using the middle name that Obama does not use professionally. Of Sen. Hillary Clinton, he said with grudging admiration, "I just feel like she won't fold under pressure."

Anne Watson, 30, typically votes Republican but saw no point this time, now that McCain has wrapped up the nomination.

Yet she said it was important to her that the November ballot have what she called "the right Democrat, somebody who has my values and morals. After a lot of thought, I decided on Obama."

She does not yet know whom she would choose in November, but she likes Obama's decision not to take campaign contributions from political action committees: "He makes up his own mind." She felt the debate over Wright and former Weather Underground member Bill Ayers, an Obama acquaintance, was "blown out of proportion."

Jim Ballard is a 41-year-old police officer in Elkhart who did not make up his mind until last week, after Clinton and Obama had campaigned nearby. He said he would consider voting for McCain in November, depending in large part on McCain's vice presidential choice -- but he has a good feeling about Obama.

His reasons would warm the hearts of Obama and his strategists, who made a conscious decision in late April to stage smaller and more personal events -- in a horse barn, a senior center, a steel factory -- where they hoped Obama would come across less as a political rock star and more as a thoughtful listener.

"Barack seems to be hitting the smaller towns and talking to the people. And he makes you feel like you're part of the process," Ballard said, as he climbed aboard his Harley Davidson after casting his ballot. "One of the things that was said was he looked people in the eye and Hillary didn't. That's big for me, as a police officer."

Osama is going to skunk Billary here in NC.  I'm going to guess he'll win by 58-42.

This is not going to be popular to say, nor will it be received well among some (maybe even here), but Osama getting 90% of the black vote in NC will not sit well with a lot of middle-class voters (the majority) in this state.  Add to that he got the loins share of the pointy-headed intellectuals and the young voters, and he could have problems winning NC in the GE.

I wouldn't expect NC to go dem in november if they resurrected JFK and ran him.  but I didn't expect hillary to get blown out, either.  jeez, the NC polls were all over the place on your state.

the acceptance speech is entirely predictable by now.  right down to the "I love you, too", to no one in particular in the audience.
and he sounds a little more southern than he did in PA, doesn't he? :-)

she APPEARS to be wearing a neon orange dress, but it's totally screwing up my TV right now, so I could have the color wrong.

Are you sure?

I think it's going to get closer.

Not enough for Clinton to overtake, but it should go a few points closer yet.
