The Democrats view Wilmington a friendly venue along the campaign trail because of it's liberal mindset. Wilmington and Chapel Hill are liberal hotbeds where they can expect a positive reception. Wilmington is not just Hollywood East but San Fransicso East. The Democrats including Elaine Marshall , have been in control of state government for over one hundred years and their record of accomplishments has been very poor. We are the highest taxed state in the South and one of the most corrupt under Democratic rule. People around here are like abused children , they just tolerate sorry government without taking a stand !
