(84,711 posts)NC went for Obama in 2008 and Dennis Kucinich managed to get an impressive number of votes here in 2004.
Where we are today is in part corruption in the Dem Party...(we had Edwards) and Mike Easley...and lack of Obama supporters follow through after 2008 when his organization became about HIM and not supporting the Progressive/Activist Base that had been forming since 2000 Selection. It's complicated and I'm not going to get into more about it here on DU. But, I was involved ....and saw much of what went on.
I have also lived and voted as a Democrat in NC, NYC, NYState, CT and grew up in SC.
Have watched the Northeast to the South politically. And, was in CT when Bill and Hillary were there in Law School when Joe Lieberman was an Activist! LOL's!
