N.C. May Be Presidential Battleground

[wyldwolf]

A billboard looms over Interstate 40/85 in Alamance County, where George W. Bush carried more than 62 percent of the vote in the 2000 presidential election.


Since 2001, the sign says, 1.8 million American jobs have been lost: "Fed up? Vote Democratic."


Four years after Al Gore (news - web sites) wrote off North Carolina and Bush rolled to victory here, Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry (news - web sites) is fighting for the state. With North Carolina Sen. John Edwards (news - web sites) on the ticket, Democrats believe they may carry the state in a presidential election for the first time since 1976
