Carolina Blue!
As a native North Carolinian, I am really enjoying drinking in the above electoral map. It's official now: NC went for Obama and, more hilariously, tossed Elizabeth Dole out of her Senate seat so she could spend more time with Jesus.
One of the Tarheel mottos is "turn it blue" and we finally did.
For the first time in my adult life I am proud of my state because it feels like hope is finally making a comeback. (Ok, I am unabashedly appropriating the words of Michelle Obama.)
But, geez, it's enough to bring tears to the eyes of a educated, informed, left-leaning, ACLU card-carrying, North Carolinian Democrat. An' I'll wager y'all didn't even know we had 'em, did ya?
(And seriously, I can't make up something this good- the word verification for this post is hickbi.)

But, do you think Jesus wants to spend more time with Liddy Dole?
