Hurricane Isabel: How Bush could lose North Carolina in 2004 [View All]

NC appears to be Ground Zero for Hurricane Isabel, which should be a safe state for Bush in 2004. On the other hand, this "president" has packed up and shipped off so many National Guardspeople to Iraq that the state may not be able to deliver emergency services to its people. Bush will have a lot to answer for to the people of North (and maybe South) Carolina if the state is devastated by a category 5 hurricane and the delivery of state emergency services is in a shambles because the National Guard was in Iraq. Of course Karl Rove will then be likely to ochestrate a smear campaign against "DemocRATic" Governor Mike Easley (who is up for reelection in '04). But we'll see.
