2008
I have been hearing about a lot of inauguration-related activities going on this weekend and through Tuesday. I'd rather not have them clog up the calendar, but I thought it would be helpful to list them all in one place. Here's what I know about so far, please post additional events and let us know how you're observing this landmark event.
The Orange County Democratic Women and the Orange County Democratic Party are
sponsoring a Public Forum on Analysis of the 2008 Election on Thursday,
November 20, 7:30 pm at the Century Center in Carrboro. Hodding Carter
III, Ferrel Guillory, and Rob Christiansen will be the panel.
Date:
Thursday, November 20, 2008 - 2:30pm to 4:00pm
It seems quite likely that North Carolina could face a recount, so these numbers may change. (And they are never considered truly "final" until certified by the Board of Elections anyway.) But here's how Orange County voted, according to the NC Board of Elections, so far. I don't think any adjustments will change the outcome of these very decisive local races.
Congress:
| David Price (i) (DEM) | | 63.44% | 263,151 |
| William (B.J.) Lawson (REP) | | 36.56% | 151,672 |

I suppose I should first say I like many of my fellow veterans and many returning veterans now suffer as does our Senator McCain with the curse of PTSD. Why is it a curse? It’s sometimes difficult to maintain an even keel...sometimes life gets too difficult. But while I am lucid let me say. It is my fervent hope that citizens of North Carolina honour the Veterans and their contributions to our freedoms on Tuesday, November 4, 2008. What does November 4th have to do with honouring our Veterans? First, the obvious that our veterans, retirees, and active duty service men and women have met and are meeting their responsibilities as citizens of this state and country. Second, this same group represents approximately 10% of the population of this state and as such have a duty to act responsibly and vote! Third, each member of this group must recognize their responsibility to the group and ignore the racial, prejudicial, and ignorant remarks of some of our fellow citizens and vote for the candidate each of us feels in our heart will be best for our country.

This Sunday, November 2d, at 5 PM, political reporter and analyst Chris Brook will be joining me for a special Election Eve Eve edition of WXYC News. We'll have the (almost) final word on developments in the Presidential race, and Chris's overview of the battleground states, including our own home state, North Carolina. We'll also be talking about the NC Senate and Gubernatorial races, and we'll wind up the hour with a review of what to look for on Election Night and Chris's final predictions of election results. We hope you'll tune in.

In a recent letter to constituents, Representative David Price described opposition candidate BJ Lawson's position on various issues. It would be informative to get BJ Lawson's point by point response to each issue as described by Representative David Price. Similarly, it would be informative to get Representative David Price's response to Price according to Lawson on the issues. I don't have the time to compile or find this one, if someone does please post it in the same format as this post but as a separate post. Lets hope to get their responses ...
Since most of us have already voted, it's not too soon to settle on a place to convene on Election Night. The Station and Milltown in Carrboro come to mind; so does Spice Street in University Mall. OCSC is out because it's too smoky. Any other ideas? We just got a big TV and would be happy to host here, but Berkeley wants to join a crowd somewhere.
Fearrington Democratic Rally

Why we support B.J. Lawson
This is a community of Democrats in and
around the 4th District of North Carolina, and indeed from around the
entire state and the entire country, who support the campaign of
William "B.J." Lawson for House of Representatives. You may ask why we
support B.J. when there is an 11-term and well-known Democratic
incumbent, David Price, currently representing the 4th District. Well,
for starters:
