On the Ground in North Carolina

I know the map says North Carolina is leaning, but the only people I've heard say they are voting for Obama are black.  Most people I've talked to are definitely voting for McCain.  They think Obama is too risky and too inexperienced and don't want their taxes raised.

For McCain, he is respected and they want to know about Obama's past, but they want to know specifics not generics on what he will do for the economy.  Most seem to feel he will reach out to both parties and Obama will only deal with Democrats.

That's why I'm voting for McCain.
