President Obama had a town meeting in Raleigh today. He was at Broughton High School speaking about healthcare. For some of us who didn’t get to go to the actual meeting, standing on the street waving at the presidential motorcade was the next best thing.

Obama Wins 2008

With all the talk of Red and Blue States some might imagine US citizens are born dipped in one or the other color… but looking back you can see that the pendulum of democracy has no permanent palette.

Nixson Wins

Nixon Wins 1972

Every dog has his day/color…

FDR Wins

FDR Wins 1936

Roses are red and violets are blue but the US can’t decide between the two… If you want to see more or hear a great catalogue of speeches or read a sea of documents visit : The American Presidency Project

Yes, for once, NC is getting some major attention in a national election campaign, and being described as a battleground state! Not only are Obama, Biden, McCain and Palin all regularly visiting us, but we’ve got famous people entertaining us where the only price for admission is listening to a li’l plug for a candidate.

Today, James Taylor played a free concert in Moore Square in downtown Raleigh. It was a beautiful day and a perfect mid-day lunch excursion. And despite the minimal advertising and notice given, he played his music and his “Vote Obama” message to a full crowd.

Thanks, Dan, for the pix!
