After three days, one-stop early voting is on a record-setting pace for a midterm election, and white Republican men are furiously casting ballots, according to an analysis by Democracy North Carolina. The nonpartisan political watchdog group says the total number of Republicans who voted between Thursday and Saturday still trailed Democrats statewide by about 4,300. Yet, the margin is significantly smaller than the 3-1 ratio Democrats held in 2008. “Early voting doesn’t favor one party or another, but reveals who’s most organized and enthusiastic about making their voices heard,” Bob Hall, executive director of Democracy North Carolina, said in a statement. Two years ago, black Democratic women led all groups in the 17-day early voting period, helping to propel Barack Obama to a surprise victory in North Carolina, the group said. So far, 72,173 voters have cast early ballots, which more than doubles the number cast after the first three days of early voting in 2006. Two years ago, more than 266,000 voters crowded one-stop centers in the first three days of early voting. Brunswick County registered the most early votes, and Chatham, Johnston, Wayne and Wilson counties also ranked among the top 10 counties for most early votes through the first weekend. Early voting continues through 1 p.m. Oct. 30. Counties have different schedules, including multiple locations and evening hours in some cases, and a complete list of sites and hours is available at the State Board of Elections website.

Sure am. I've been against abortion since 1995. I was prochoice, but rethought and changed mt position on this.
Apparently from your less than exclamatory response, not as adamantly as you are against the death penalty for murderers and heinous criminals.
Dude, I notice people who loudly and overbearingly trumpet a particular belief are usually trying to convince themselves. I was a bit taken aback by your question, actually. I mean I say over and over and over again what my view is on this. It gets old, dig? It tells me you don't pay attention. And it caused me to sadly shake my head and sigh at your thick headedness. My sister was going to get an abortion years ago. I was so pushy about trying to save my nephew's life, I had an injunction filed against me seeing her at one point. But eventually she relented and agreed not to abort him. She loves me and him and is glad I did what I did. And so am I. I am an activist dude. If I believe in something strongly enough, I act. And would do that again in any similar situation. I have one friend who is a woman who I was very pushy about this in the same way and she had the abortion anyway and she refuses to see me and our friendship is over. Satisfied? My guess it you are not, as you never are.
I don't hate cha dude. In some cases, I'd even vote for a boob or two.
It tells me you don't pay attention. she refuses to see me and our friendship is over I wouldn't know. I don't post at DU. I don't follow you around the internet, weasel. Not much of a friend, was she?
I have posted that here, at eLPee, 4UM, Free Republic, and many other places. I don't know if I ever mentioned my views on abortion at DU, frankly. Usually I mention it where someone assumes wrongly my view is pro kill the kid because I am not exactly a conservative.
Like you do that I read all of your posts wherever you post?
And you are flogging this dead horse because.....?
Dead horse? You posted the bullshit. If you don't want anyone to respond, stop posting!
Heh, you act as dumb as someone originally from Wisconsin sometimes ;-D
You aren't acting!
And you are originally from Wisconsin. Or so you have claimed.
I've never claimed.
Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald I'm from Wisconsin so the song always had special meaning to me. I remember how unbelievable the sinking was to us. I spent some time on the shores of Superior in Wisconsin, Michigan and the Arrowhead in Minnesota. I saw it blow up and gained much respect for big water which thus far has served me well. yukon posted on 2005-01-30 3:29:08 ET Reply Trace http://libertypost.org/cgi-bin/readart.cgi?ArtNum=82996&Disp=156#C153 Yes you did.
I thought you claimed you don't do drugs? Are you just naturally fooked up?
Me? Why, you are the one who can't remember shit. I would say that you are the one with the THC induced memory loss. ROTFLMFAO!
Don't drive your computer while angry Yukon, don't drive angry.
People that make-up and "remember" things that have never happened are the people in la-la-land. You seem to be in that category.
That citation ain't made up. Although you might have regrets now for reminiscing thusly, the words are very much yours'. I knew you well enough to know how you would spin. But when I back things up with your own words, you can't win. Tell me, are you also a member of the lollipop guild in lalala land? ;-D
BFD! I can post statements by anyone just like you and attribute them to you.
So, you are claiming you are not Yukon? Go right ahead. Everyone knows exactly who you are. It would only be value added enjoyment to see you deny your own words anyway.
Would you admit being yukon?
Yukon's dumb pet trick of the week: "I'm NOT me! I'm NOT me!!!!" I was hoping he'd do this. The boy is really a piece of work, isn't he?
He must have learned it from no gnu taxes.
Everyone knows exactly who you are. Who the hell are you addressing? Check the "To" box, weasel. You claim you don't use mind altering substances, remember? Sure, just like everyone knows who Obama is. He can't even produce his college transcripts or passports!
You always obsess over grammatical errors, word use problems, and nit pick points as yukon and as fart in the wind, boobie. Keep going, you are doing good. Make that little old hole nice and deep, I love watching you dig. As I said, no one at all would believe for a moment that you two are not one.
Yukfart: "*sniff* *snif* *WWWAAAAHHHHHH!* *MOMMY, MAKE HIM STOP!!!!* *WWWAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!*"
no one at all would believe for a moment that you two are not one. The only posters obsessing are you and the little weenie, skidmark! Like I care, obsessed one! I'm amazed at how Yukon seems to get you liberals all flustered and twisted in knots. Seems that poster has really gotten into your empty craniums.
Poor weasel, did I make you cry? Maybe you can get skidmark to console you!
In either account, you are arrogant and self absorbed. I also knew you would not miss a chance to say a kind word about yourself after the typical fashion you effect constantly of self aggrandizement. If you really want to not deal with the fact we all know you really well, stop posting about this. I mean, isn't that what you just advised me to do on a point of order? Follow your own dumb advice. You are the one here advertising who you are by protesting way way too much.
You also like to nit-pick others, and pretend to fail to see the obvious when facts are to inconvenient. Keep going, you are on a roll here. I definitely appreciate the entertainment, Yukfart.
You are ignorant and obsessed.
I detest ignorance and carelessness. It can cause injury or death.
We know. We see you express the exact same value system with the exact same distortions in both your accounts. So? Do you have a point here?

We? You and skidmark? That is laughable. You are fookin delusional, weasel.
I'm not computer savvy enough to even know where to begin. I'm not really interested in learning as it seems rather immature and childish to create fake accounts.
13 days and a wake up.
Obama's first all-by-his-lonesome budget, btw, calls for a $1.17 trillion deficit.
He has a serious reading comprehension problem.
It's worse than that I fear. If Spock beamed in in front of Yukfart he's scream that he was obviously an illegal alien and call him a pointy eared bastard. You know how a snapping turtle reflexively bites if anything moves near it's mouth? I think he calls them family.

It tells me you don't pay attention.
If you want government to intervene domestically, you’re a liberal. If you want government to intervene overseas, you’re a conservative. If you want government to intervene everywhere, you’re a moderate. If you don’t want government to intervene anywhere, you’re an extremist. -- Joe Sobran
