The primary is over and it is time to move on to the next phase. We have to get our Democrats elected. This means raising money. Russ Feingold started his Progressive Patriot Fund during the 2006 cycle. Larry Kissell was in the running, but other Democrats in much larger districts were able to garner more internet votes. Let's change that this cycle.

I received a personal email from one of the fund's organizers. She contacted me through the BlueNC contact form, so this wasn't a form letter. If they are going to great length to make sure we know that Larry is on the list, we can at least vote for Larry to be Russ Feingold's next Progressive Patriot.

U.S. Senator - Kay Hagan, Jim Neal
Governor - Richard Moore, Dennis Nielsen, Bev Perdue
Lt. Governor - Dan Besse, Hampton Dellinger, Pat Smathers

Public Policy Polling (PDF) is out with their final North Carolina primary poll. They are pretty much calling the Senate and Gubernatorial races and they show Obama winning the popular vote in NC by 10 points.

The best news of the poll is that Robin Anderson has tied the two front-runners and there is a three way tie for first in the Labor Commissioner poll. The great news about that is that Robin has more endorsements from local groups in more cities that won't always show a result in the polls as the handouts are given out at the polls.

It's almost over.

I'm leaving each video as an individual page, but have gathered them all here to save the front page from heavy load times. I can't thank of anyone who deserves the front page more than our own Mike Barrett who is running for the Board of County Commissioners in Person County. Go Mike, Go.
