Oh my God. Wow.

Anyway, Neal is just a pipe dream. You may have been right on Obama winning NC, but an openly gay guy from Chapel Hill is not doing to win the nomination, much less beat Richard Burr in a general election in an off year where a popular Democrat is not heading the ticket. The only people that could vote for him would be the weirdos in Durham and Orange County, and even then he'd lose in a landslide. It just isn't going to happen. Electing a black and a gay guy are two different things.

Asheville is a very, very artsy area and has a high gay population at UNC-Asheville (Josh says public schools in NC are full of gays). It's not surprising that the Democrats in that area are very left considering that fact and would be accepting of Neal's homosexuality. I'm surprised he didn't win Orange, but I would assume he finished second there. I forgot Durham county is full of blacks, who would not vote for a gay white man.

Holy crap. Neal did do well in the western mountainous areas. I have no idea why. I guess all the Democrats in that area are gay?
