nc state fair

So, I went to the state fair today and had a great time! I ate all the "fair" food I like. A hand dipped corn dog, fresh cut fries, blooming onion (bad sauce had just a bite or two then got rid of it, sigh) and fudge. I went to all the exhibits I like and people watched which I enjoy. We have been told, and I am not disputing, that NC which has been a red state during elections is in play for this election. In a way I am glad. We hardly see a candidate here during elections. This year we have had visits from several people from each campaign. I like that. What I took note of today is the number of McCain/Palin vs Obama/Biden support from tee-shirts to stickers. McCain Palin had a showing of at least 10 to 1. I saw very few Obama/Biden stickers and I was looking, I wanted to know. This was very non scientific I didn't ask questions I just looked at what people were wearing. A very good friend of mine, an Obama supporter, was at the fair opening day and said there weren't many Obama stickers. The Obama officials/supporters at the fair told her, it was their understanding there could be no stickers. So, I could understand a low count on day one but we are almost at the end of the fair and not many stickers and no tee-shirts seen for him at all. We may not be an election cycle blue state but may still be Carolina Blue in a red state.
