These are troubling times! While I am relieved that Mike Easley won the gubernatorial election in NC, I still find myself questioning what is happening in my state. In North Carolina, the largest percentages of registered voters are democrats. However, as a state, the greater percentage of voters cast ballots for Bush. I don't understand. . . we vote for a democrat for governor and a republican for president. Additionally, Henry Frye, an African American NC Supreme Court Justice did not win re-election.
The fate of the country seemingly is in the hands of residents of Florida. I am prayerful that the outcome is the announcement of Al Gore as President of the United States of America.
