Someone outside of North Carolina who does not understand the niceties of our politics may not know that there is a big perceived divide between urban Charlotte and rural North Carolina. Going to a state university (UNC Chapel Hill), has very much heightened the awareness that I have for this issue. Many Charlotteans--democrats and republicans--feel very much ignored and disdained by the state government. As a result, there are many democrats in Charlotte who will for Obama and Hagan, but will reject Perdue and vote for McCrory for governor because he is the mayor of Charlotte and is perceived there as someone who will fight for Charlotte's interests in the state government. Something to think about.Alex Merritthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04699751435703500503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-13766521907296488602008-10-19T13:26:00.000-05:002008-10-19T13:26:00.000-05:00Five points is still within the margin of error.

I am not sure Perdue has a good understanding of of the roles of the Legislative Branch even though she has been the Lt. Governor for the past eight years. She repeatedly said on my watch or when I become governor I will enact laws.... She is not bright. Perdue makes Palin look knowledgeable. I was impressed with Munger. He is smart and he understands the issues. My advice to the party leadership, push Hagan and spend the next four years finding a candidate..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-46973559843442516422008-10-18T20:53:00.000-05:002008-10-18T20:53:00.000-05:00In case you missed it, R2000 has confirmed that th...In case you missed it, R2000 has confirmed that they got the Gov race flipped.

Also, maybe your survey is showing more Republican numbers than other pollsters because of when it was taken.

McCrory is supposedly winning 80% of Democrats and 87% of African-Americans, while Perdue supposedly wins 84% of Republicans and 60% of whites. So if you adjust for this, Perdue is actually 5 points up, which seems reasonable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
