RICHARD PETTY IN THE MOTHERFUCKIN HOUSE

CAN I GET A WOOT WOOT

Nah, the King screwed up in 96 when he rubbed that guy on 85. Since then, sad to say, the demographics have really shifted against King Richard. I mean, even in the NASCAR crowd I can't see a Jimmy Johnson (gag) fan voting for #43 (if they even knew who he was).

6/7/2007 10:33:00 PM

No Ron Paul, unfortunately, but if it comes to it, I'm totally down with Fred Thompson. I'm glad to see that there's somebody else with a bit of sense in the GOP that's gaining traction.

46 - 54 %. not too shabby. did he do that freeway nudge before or after the election?

6/8/2007 2:39:03 AM

^^^ Well maybe he has the PIXAR vote

According to the news stories I saw it was 85 near Randleman. It was before the election, as a matter of fact he was leading in all the polls before the rub, after which he dropped.

did we just totally hijack this dude's thread?

6/8/2007 11:02:00 AM

^I'd say the 1996 Secretary of State Election is no less relevant in 2008 than the NC GOP Primary for President, or Governor for that matter.

6/8/2007 11:08:13 AM

I doubt a republican will win the governor race. Im really not sure why since North Carolina is technically a "red state", but you cant deny that the democratic party tends to run state politics here.

6/9/2007 1:15:56 AM

Probably because all the big money donors max out to democrats....even republican ones.

6/13/2007 2:07:35 PM

it helps that the republican candidates are crazies with absolutely nothing to offer.

hell I'm a Republican that used to be heavily active in the party, and even I can't stand most of the Republican candidates in this state...

6/13/2007 4:22:02 PM

oh my fucking god...37 percent for thompson....and i was just giving north carolina props in a convo maybe 2 weeks ago...

6/13/2007 4:27:55 PM

^^that's because you work for a democrat

6/13/2007 4:29:48 PM

I think you've got your cause and effect reversed there nutsmackr  

6/13/2007 5:19:40 PM

Admit it. You love my party

6/13/2007 5:22:45 PM

my night was made the other night when I went to dinner with friends of my mom who are rich republicans and they were talking about supporting richard moore, didnt mention any of the republican candidates.

6/13/2007 6:49:58 PM

Hell, Richard Moore won't even get out of the primary.

I am glad NC republicans are more worried about telling people how to live there lives and gov't enforcing morality. Instead of the health of the economy and people getting jobs. It is good they got their priorities in line.

IMO they shouldn't be doing either.

I think Perdue will probably win, and I think she will probably make the better governor. But im avoiding the actual primary like the plague. God help anyone who gets in the middle of those two.
