It is going to be a beautiful fall day in North Carolina, a terrific day to go out and vote.
Kay Hagan is up by 4 % in the last two polls (Likely Voter) and is leading by 7 with registered voters.
Many of those "Unlikely Voters" are going to the polls today because we asked them, helped them visualize going to the polls and most of all, because when we called or knocked on their door they told us they would vote.
North Carolina has been a great experiment in putting a little money into an extensive GOTV organization instead of a few more ads and it is going to pay off big.
I hope putting money into workers on the ground continues in future elections because it is the path to a brighter future.
Not only is Kay Hagan going to continue to be our senator from North Carolina, but we have developed a lot of young people with the skills necessary for the political races of the future.
Thank you PBO for showing us the way.
These young people (who have worked their hearts out) have given the rest of us volunteers the focus and the motivation to do what was necessary for the success we are going to have today.
In the North Carolina State Senate which is 33R - 17D today, where we need 9 seats to turn, I have been following what I thought was the best case 9.
In early voting all nine have had more Democrats early vote than Republicans, sometimes by huge numbers. Another benefit of a good turn out team.
A special thanks to Thom Tillis and the Republican state legislature that is trying to take our vote away for reminding us all how important our individual votes are.
And a very special thanks to Rev. Barber for reminding us all how important our individual votes are.
(Worth watching again)
A special thanks to that 93 year old man in the nursing home is going with his son to the polls, because "he votes, he always votes", and to that woman who is going to the polls today with all fifteen members of her family. And to all the people who are making on effort.
So the PCs and mobile phones are charged, the polls are open and the volunteers are already working, and democracy is getting stronger.
It is another beautiful day in North Carolina.
