I am a registered Democrat in NC and would like to proclaim a few things for those of you that "just follow party lines", the sheep of the party. This is a historic opportunity to witness the first black and female american to be elected. Hillary was given some special pass from the party since she was Bills lady, but she had no more experience that Palin. I will not vote Obama. He has a closet door ready to spring during the next months. Or, you haven't been paying attention. He is too shady. 24 year old, you cannot afford Obama unless you make 6 figures. You know nothing of history of the party. The liberals took over prior to the Carter years and swung way to the left over the past Clinton years. Clinton was moderate and was electible, Obama is liberal and so it Biden. They do not have your best interrest in mind, only your money. Again, the party doesn't offer us a canidate since Hillary is out of the loop. Period.
