Per CharlotteFrontandCenter.com, there will be a gathering of Democrats and independents in Charlotte, N.C. this Thursday, Sept.11, 2008 at Caribou Coffee, 7510 Pineville-Matthews Rd. Beginning at 6:30pm and ending at (?) . What this small band of former Hillary Clinton supporters, now McCain/Palin converts plan to organize is not clear. A voter drive? A protest? Why they are not inviting Republicans to their "Country First" gatherings is also not clear. After all they support the McCain/Palin presidential ticket. This "squeaky-little-group-that-must-oiled" doesn't really want to fold into the Republicans; they want to stand out in their doomed quest.
I admit to being fascinated by this group of women whose reasoning is as convoluted as a pretzel. These are ardent Hillary supporters, who refuse to endorse Barack Obama, even after she's endorsed him; they relate to Sarah Palin, who is 180-degrees apart from Clinton on the issues and are supporting John McCain/Palin.
Look for more coverage on this group because this election cycle is proving that the "fringe-ier" the better.
* Warning - In honor of Sarah Palin, Frontandcenter.com plays that "Northern Exposure" song on a loop and it skips badly.

Just wondering, how long have you lived in Charlotte?
It's very odd that anyone who knows anything about NC would call it a "doomed quest" to support McCain over Obama. I'd be willing to bet that Obama doesn't even draw the percentages of Kerry or Gore, despite all the noise from the Creative Loafing types.
