How do you feel about the N.C. Primary results?

Ruth, all of the candidates want power, otherwise they would not be candidates.
Obama, as an "educated negro", understands that his patriotism is not proven by the public display of a lapel pin, or a pledge of allegiance on TV, but instead a life of public service and dedication to the values and objectives of Democrats and all Americans. His love for America is in his heart and mind, not on his sleeve. I respect that.
Obama is not Muslim, but even if he were, all people are equal regardless of race, color, creed, religion, or sexuality in civilized America. That includes educated negroes and Muslims. Equality is a fundamental value of the Democratic party, and Obama's victory proves that we have begun healing the wounds of our past, and of our ignorance. I hope you will join the celebration, for humanity's sake, and your own.

Ruth is WRONG

Ruth's comments are not worthy of posting and she is guilty of standing for EVERYTHING WRONG in our great country.
WAKE UP RUTH AND GET IN TO THE NEW MILLENNIUM. There is no room for racists in our multi cultural and dynamic country.

I agree with you totally... Its a disgrace to the people of NC that he received 92% of the black vote... It shows they are voting on because of his RACE.. He is in no way qualified to be President of this great country...On top of all this he and his wife both have a dislike this country.

Just because he received the black vote doesn't mean it was because of his race. So in Indiana did Hillary win because she got the WHITE vote? What about in New York or Penn.? You cannot insult people by saying that. Maybe people who voted for him think he can fix things Hillary can't, and vice versa. What about women who voted for Hillary because of gender? Please don't disrespect people like that gator. What about the people who once they were in the booth asked themselves if they could really vote for a black man or a woman? What does that show?
I'm sick of people talking that crap about the Obama's not liking the U.S. Where does that come from? I think we over analyze the actions of others to the point we make stuff up. DO you agree with everything our country does? No, you don't. Does that make you unpatriotic?

Just curious, what would you call an uneducated negro? Why would you even go there? Why did the moderators let you go there?

I left North Carolina over

I left North Carolina over 40 years ago because of people like you and their racist attitudes. I am sorry to see that these attitudes are still alive today in my state of birth. Makes me all the happier that I left and will not return. Maybe in 100 years the racism will disappear, but I doubt it.

disappointing

Locally, the triumph of mediocrity over talent.
Don Moffitt would have been a great addition to the county commissioners: forward-looking, dynamic ideas for improvements. Somehow, skin color is more important than fine leadership of any race. Too bad; we will continue to stagnate.

Regarding the presidential results; the margin of victory shows that Obama was the choice of most North Carolinian Democrats. I think this is particularly true when you consider that Operation Chaos(1) influenced many registered Republicans to switch their registration to Unaffiliated for the specific purpose of voting for Hillary, whom they regard as an easier opponent to defeat in November.
We should assume that without these shenanigans, Obama's margin of victory among core Democrats would be significantly higher. The important thing is that our result was not contaminated in NC the way it was in Texas.
