2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: NC FACTS--not pundit BS or pollster malarkey--Look at the numbers--FINAL UPDATE #10 [View all]mnhtnbb
(31,388 posts)when Dems did not come out to vote the way they did in 2008. It hurts--but--we have a chance
to change that this time.
When Michelle came to Chapel Hill a week ago--and I went to see her--she really drove the point home
that the Obama win by 14,000 votes in NC in 2008 averaged out to 5 votes per precinct. 5 votes!
She flat out told the crowd--primarily college students on the UNC Chapel Hill campus--your vote
DOES make a difference.

I voted yesterday--on campus--and was pleased to have to wait in line and be surrounded by young
people voting.
It's no wonder the Romney folks are throwing out BS and head fakes in NC because they can look
at the same numbers. We can do it IF we GOTV--and I've never seen a campaign work harder
than the Obama campaign is to do just that.
