I've seen quite a bit of bickering in regards to those who aren't true Dems, or aren't Obama's true base. I never really write diaries as I prefer to let reality speak for itself (read: somewhat socially phobic, as well as an introvert, neither of which stopped me from storming the Madison Capitol the night SB10 was illegally passed), but I feel the need to speak out as a Republican refugee of & from Reaganism. I was raised Republican (much like kids who are "raised Christian", without any say in the matter, as Richard Dawkins would say--due to an incipient indoctrination based on a particular worldview) and thus voted Republican my very first election in 2000.

I hope you should have the chance to indulge me as it pertains to my plea for fellow students and science faculty at UW-Madison to continue fighting this fight and not back down. This intro shall be pithy so as to get to the meat of the e-mail I just sent off to my fellow classmates.

It appears as though North Carolina may be swing this cycle after all. I don't diary often, but seeing as I haven't seen a diary on the Civitas poll released today, people may find it interesting that Obama's support in North Carolina is building at a minimum, if not being accompanied by McCain's support slipping in the state.

Yes. Most pollsters are underestimating Democratic Party ID numbers.

No. There are too many DINOs in North Carolina for this to occur.

Yes, and Kay Hagan, Bev Perdue, and other downstream candidates will help!

The diary title is a bit extreme and I'm aware someone else has added a tiny diary about Joe Scarborough berating Rachel Maddow today (he also happened to play the famous numbers game to humiliate her, a lovely primate maneuver) but I must say, the glove really fits in this particular case. The fun-filled anger inducing video of him and maddow can be found over the speedbump.
