Vernon Robinson is an Obama fan?

ok guys, I kept this a secret for a long time because I thought it might hurt the Obama campaign, but I feel like I can come out with it now it seems Obama has the nomination locked...
Vernon Robinson did door-to-door canvassing for Obama!
If you don't know who vernon Robinson is, he's about the nastiest politician you can imagine. There are plenty of stories about him on BlueNC, including one by Betsy.
Anyway, on to my "revelation".

Endorsements Roll In for John Edwards while on the Campaign Trail in South Carolina!

While out on the campaign trail in South Carolina on Thursday, Senator Edwards won two key endorsements, the first from the Communications Workers of America of the early primary state of Nevada, with the second from notable social activist, Harry Belafonte.

South Carolina in April

As everybody knows by this point the first Democratic Debate of the 2008 Primary season was last Thursday in Orangeburg, SC. The debate was one of several opportunities the Democratic Candidates had to show their stuff for the early primary state. I had the fantastic opportunity to go to SC and volunteer with the John Edwards campaign Thursday and Friday, so I wanted to share a little of my experience with you guys.

Bishopville (SC) Nights: The Ballad of Joe Biden; or, Health Care in America

I went to a Biden event in Bishopville, SC last night to see the man speak after a month of being frustrated by the "clean and articulate" comment. After seeing Obama wow the crowds in Columbia a few weeks ago, I felt it was time to give my former boss a second chance.

I'll try and post a video of his speech (it's short at 15 minutes), because he brought up a few interesting points during the discussion. I've heard his views on Iraq too many times to remember, and I've always thought he'd be the best person to deal with that situation. But he surprised me when he announced last night that he's going to hold an international conference with world leaders in Europe to try and get our (former?) allies to come together to deal with a solution to Iraq and the global problem of Islamist terrorism.

BTW: I'm glad that Talking Points Memo posted this excerpt on Youtube, but since when does TiVo'ing something allow you to brand it with your logo? That's the Wild West...

Charlotte Mayor Pat McCrory says he wants to change the culture in Raleigh. I guess that's why he wrote this letter to PAC lobbyists asking for their fundraising help. Change you can believe in? Riiiiiiight. Join the conversation here.
