on the swing state issue...
NC is officially been christened a Swing State by the DNC, they think
there is a real chance of Kerry and Edwards winning here, due to
shifts in the polls as well as response to several activities that
they have been operating for the past few months....

I was supposed to start working for them, but the change to a swing
state changed their focus and eliminated the job I was about to start
in
