Welcome to DU FemVet. It'll be interesting to see how the military in NC goes this time, because Obama's tried reasonably hard to support the active military and VA. The Republicans in the Senate thwarted the jobs bill for returning veterans--surely that must speak to some in the military at this point. And while Romney avoids even mentioning that festering Afghan conflict, Obama is committed to a realistic timeline for downsizing it.

I have more hope for the military being split than the rural folks. In NC like in most other states, the biggest divide is rural/urban. Talk about needing liberation (from Fox & the 1%) in the name of Democracy...NC has been Koched. (Cooked?)

Gonna be a squeaker.
