Poll: Clinton, Thompson Ahead in North Carolina; Dole Gets Mixed Messages

Once again, it seems the NC GOP doesn’t know who it wants for governor: I presume that they will have a candidate on the ballot? They haven’t won that governorship since, when, 1988?

[Theodore R.]

Yes, I would have thought that Burr would have been the more reliable conservative, but no, Dole is more conservative and usually reliable. However, I think in her heart Dole would like to take liberal positions, but she is trying to hold her thin base together. Burr seems like a sure loser in 2010: that is the seat that always changes hands after one term.

[Theodore R.]

Sorry to disappoint you, but HRC can win NC, but she may not. She can certainly sweep forty states if the anti-GWB sentiment is as strong in November 2008 as it may well be. Besides GWB is already “advising” her so that she won’t remove the troops from Iraq. States like CO, VA, NV, OH are headed Democrat and that means HRC wins.

[Theodore R.]

Well, I was under the impression that both Doles visited Mrs. Hanford in Salisbury on a regular basis.

The NC poll you posted. That is the question on the Pub candidates..... It’s from the pdf data about the poll from the Elon University

The info is confusing I guess since I posted it under the Iowa Caucuses info and failed to provide a link to the Elon University website.

I think that you are right about Senator Dole, wanting to take a more liberal position that is. I thought she would really be a lot of trouble for the Republicans. She proved me wrong.

However, I really had a lot of high hopes for Burr. He is a very like able person, a war vet and so on. With NC’s Democrat leanings I think he figured he was safe in taking the amnesty position. Really made me mad, him knowing how his constituents stood on the issue.
