BlueNC -- Thank You!!!! Labor Race - To Be or Not to Be

First, BlueNC -- I can't thank you enough for the incredible support you have given to my campaign and to Will and me personally. We couldn't have done it without you!!! It is remarkable that with close to 1.2M votes the race is still just a few thousand apart for 2nd, 3rd and 4th place. It's my understanding that this Tuesday the County Canvass will be complete and by that time the Provisional Ballots will have been sorted. By Thursday the 2nd place can request a run-off. I've been told that there were upwards of 90,000 provisionals in the 2004 general - and with those types of numbers anything is possible. So my campaign is still focusing forward. However, on the flip side my political intuition is that regardless of the ultimate number of provisionals recognized the percentages between the four of us may not change dramatically enough to move me into 2nd place. So you can probably imagine what my days/nights have been like since Tuesday -- I have PTPD (Post Traumatic Primary Disorder). There is a perverse non-political side of me that is hopeful I will be hip deep in a run-off so I can continue to avoid those chores that crept up over the past 3 months - when did the grass start growing? The other side of me is committed to ensuring that the people of North Carolina have a Commissioner of Labor who will fight for working families. No matter what – the one thing I know we all can absolutely positively agree on is that the 'Elevator Lady' MUST go!! So please stay tuned and keep me in your thoughts...
