McCain auditions for weatherman. O-No! covers the breaking story. We hope this storm does not turn into a hurricane, but if it does, the damage will be minimal," McCain said.

Thanks for all your site work, Betsy

Thanks for the work! It's always nice to see continuous improvement (especially when the worst of our worries is a little slow-down on the site).

Love the new banners/ads on the left side.

We're not rotating them to save load time. Plus, the whole rotation thing didn't always work. I think the php code was fighting between blocks. We'll rotate graphics manually every few days with Dem challengers going in one spot, COS going in one spot and Republican Targets going in another. That way everybody gets face time. We will not include graphics for candidates who have no or very limited presence on BlueNC, so warning to folks who want to see candidates like Harry Taylor included. Start writing about them be they Dem or Rep. Oh, if you click on the link beneath the graphic it takes you to the page that includes all the graphics in that category. We obviously are still working on them.

I think it is uncanny how the Dem women have their photos on the left and Dole's mug is on the right of the graphic, don't you? :D I don't even think James planned it that way.

"You'll be in our thoughts and prayers. I am very impressed by what you're doing and what you're prepared to do. Coming from a state that is not often hit by a hurricane, I'm incredibly impressed," the Arizona senator told local officials.

Actually, Arizona has never been hit by a Hurricane or Cyclone. It has been "hit" by the remnants of Hurricanes or Cyclones, what we here on the East Coast call "storms". But, never by a Hurricane or Cyclone.

But here's a column about yours truly in the N&O...

Also, I served on the Council of Review for a session on Saturday. I think I came away from it appreciating the "problems" in my county party and the need for people to just directly confront issues within the bounds of the party organization.

Also, I cannot stress enough the importance of ensuring every precinct, county, district etc. organization is following the Plan of Organization. It just keeps everyone on the same page...
