dear elizabeth dole,
you lost.
love, north carolina.
dear kay hagan,
you won.
love, north carolina
unfortunately, this is my last blog post as our.state.beverage.is.milk! and for that, well, i don’t think you could understand the complexity of my emotions in this moment. but, as they say, as one door closes, another one opens. for me and elizabeth, this means more time. for kay, this means more responsibility.
since i never veer from my path of unbiased analysis, here is a bipartisan look at the conclusion of this election. some facts, in random order:
*kay won with a 52.7% (higher than estimates!), while liddy received 44.2%. chris scraped by with a 3.1%.
*north carolina hasn’t given a democrat love since the election of jimmy carter inn 1976. wowza- both kay and obama took the state this cycle. (they’rre both deomcrats, in case you missed the connection)
*kay took the vote of blacks (9 in 10), women (1 in 2), young voters (7 in 10), and those making less than $50,000 (3 in 5)
*liddy took the vote of older voters
*north carolina newspapers denounced the “godless” ad, and many contribute that to liddy’s loss.
*n.c. turnoout increased by 8%!!!! woot woot! (thats a jump from 65.8% in 2004 to 65.7% in 2008)
good luck to kay in the senate!
good luck to elizabeth in…. whatever she does next!
good luck to you, the constituents of north carolina, may all your endeavors be fruitful and fulfilling!
i’m going now!
