The Obama HQ for Guilford County is right across the street from the parking deck where I park in Greensboro. I keep watching every day for signs that they’re closing up shop.

I sat next to Begala in two law school classes in 1989 or ‘90. He’s not the sharpest tool in the shed . . . a little slow on the uptake. But, he’s smart enough to get this right!

“I still have a hard time believing VA and NC went for BHO in ‘08.”

NC is being infested with foreigners from the Northeast and has always had large numbers of blacks- both of whom are notorious for voting to the left.

It had some soldiers on both sides but stayed in the union. Nobody much considers it a southern state these days.
