According to the Institute for Southern Studies, "It’s getting to the point where, in politics, money is the most important thing". -Gee, you think?
gerrymandering is a big hot topic in NC right now. As is getting a ban on gay marriage in the state constitution. It's going to be on the primary ballot, which is a giant crock of shit since the only people that will be voting will be conservatives because Obama is not going to be contested.
