The Liberal Media Attacks!........ State Schools?!?!

[Trainer Monkey]

It's not Vermont or anything but compare NC to Virginia, South Carolina, Alabama, Georgia, Tennesse, etc etc.....we're very liberal for a Southern State. So North Carolinians usually don't vote for a Democrat it's not that the people aren't liberal it's that they aren't liberal to the extent where they agree with what the national Democrat Party....we only had 3 Republican Governors in the entire 20th Century.

* 1st Sit in in the South happened in (my hometown) Greensboro at the Woolworth's

* The NC University system (16 schools) are a bastion of liberality...visit one and you'll see what I mean

Thank god we can disagree about something,I was worrying because of that TO thread.
Virginia is a weird state in that its large enough to be very different in different parts. Blacksburg is very liberal,Bluefield is very moderate,other parts are very conservative.
Even PA is like that,a friends dad used to describe it as "You have Philly on this end,and Pittsburgh on that end,and Alabama all in the middle"

In NC you have the Eastern part of the state who are the Old School Democrats are (Dixiecrats, some may call them) who are still Democrats just because of family history. Anyone with old money in the Eastern part of the state is a Democrat.

You have the Central part of the state which has a mix of Democrats and Republicans but mainly Democrats due to the liberal arts colleges and large populations of ethnic and religious minorities.

And then you have the mountain folk and they are just freaking wierd.


But a large portion of those groups can be swayed on arguments about family values and the power of the federal government.
