IF YOU VOTE STRAIGHT PARTY, YOU MUST STILL VOTE EXPLICITLY FOR THE PREZ AND VP!!
A friend who is close to the Obama campaign tells me he felt Obama would clinch NC...until this morning when he found out about the above.
This hurts Obama more than McCain because Obama has thousands of new voters. Old folks have known about this for years. New voters, like me, did not know this.
I don't think we need to panic because voters on both side are bound to get this wrong. And it should cancel out a great deal. Yet, in a close election like this, we NEED every damn vote.
For the record, this is not a recent conspiracy. It's been like this since the Reagan era I hear. Let's focus and make sure all our NC friends, family and neighbors know about this before they head to the polls!
