OK--this is really a fable--not sports--Carolina Blue will overcome red in NC

Please, mods, don't move this post just because it's about a football game. Because it's really not.
It's about blue overcoming red in NC--and how a last minute run...with a wall of support...can overcome
what appears to be a tie game.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) — Gio Bernard returned a punt 74 yards for the go-ahead touchdown with 13 seconds left, helping North Carolina stun rival North Carolina State 43-35 to end a five-year losing streak in the series.

We are NOT giving up in NC. We are going to GOTV--with our wall of 809,090 more Registered Dems than Repubs--and turn NC BLUE

Boooooooo!!!!!! Still hoping, at least for the election, the state goes blue. A nice dark Duke blue would be my preference.

At least we don't broadcast our games on Rush Radio. Anyway, eventually the streak would fall (although the ground can't cause a fumble in most games).

I've been posting about the FACTS of the NC early voting situation.

See it here. http://www.democraticunderground.com/1251171317

The pollsters and pundits all seem to think the game in NC is going red in the election: I happen to believe
that we can pull this thing out--turn NC blue--and it's due to the wall of support by 800,000 more Dems (blocking in the video)
that allows the Obama team to score in the final seconds.
