I can't wait until 7:30 pm on May 6th when the polls close and the votes start coming in... the anticipation is seriously about to kill me.

The NC Board of Elections has an awesome web page dedicated to reporting election results from across the state in this historical primary. It includes a summary of every race statewide and by county. Plus it has voter turn out numbers, and a map of the state to see results by county. There is even a tab where you can download CSV and XLS reports, and filter by CD, county or vote type.

State Senator Julia Boseman will appear on MSNBC's Hardball tonight with Harold Ford.

I support Barack Obama and Jim Neal.

Both Barack Obama and Jim Neal are inspiring progressive Democrats. Both Obama and Jim Neal wish to change America for the better, and are willing to fight for those who are unable to fight for themselves. Both Obama and Jim Neal have had uphill battles to climb to fight the Washington establishment, and both have been discounted at some point.

If you are inspired by Obama, I think you will also be inspired by Jim Neal. If you support Obama, I urge you to support Jim Neal as well.

The Lottery Oversight Commission is meeting!
Will wonders never cease? Thank you First Amendment. Time/place after the break.

Does that mean Chelsea will be hitting the gay bars in Charlotte? That would be kinda cool.

I know you've all heard it a hundred times, but I have to say it again.....I've never been a part of anything like this campaign in my life. My husband and I took the boys in their little red wagon to go canvass door to door Saturday morning. We took off from the campaign office here in Washington and headed a few blocks North to about the roughest section of town. Needless to say, a family of white folks on foot looked a little our of place. As we went up to knock on doors, folks were very wary of us.....until we let them know that we were there for Sen. Obama's campaign. You could literally watch people's whole demeanor change. Minorities in this part of the world are so used to being treated like second class citizens, they've kind of sealed themselves off.

Hello all. Wanted to share this piece of news with everyone. It's actually great news. Charlotte, NC has finally adopted an Anti Bullying Policy

We all have been somewhat interestedly watching Lance Sigmon as he takes a direct quote from Patrick McHenry, which noted his willingness to "debate the issues", and takes it quite literally- Lance demanded a real time, old fashioned, put-on-your-bowler-cap-and-tweed-suit debate in the 10th district. Of course, good old Daniel Johnson is staying far away from this- after all, he doesn't have to worry about McHenry or Sigmon before the primaries, but it is amusing that McHenry has sent out his official response.

Wanna guess what that is? If you're thinking "No, I'm busy despite being entirely free on the Congressional candidate with no prior scheduled dates", you win today's prize.

Since we've had a couple of days of vigorous contention and debate, I thought I'd post a few things I've read about that are good things happening in NC right now.
