Michelle Malkin notes that North Carolina's strong support of their Marriage Protection Amendment has added to the woes of the DNC and the President's re-election campaign:
"...Moderate Democrats aren't the only ones refusing to put on the party hats and sing "Kumbaya." North Carolina is riling Obama's left flank, too. And national media outlets are noticing. In a piece on the DNC "going awry," Bloomberg News reported:
"Voters just approved a state constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage, which conflicts with Obama's view on the issue. Convention fundraising has been slow, and labor unions tapped to fill the financial gap are angry the convention will be in a city — Charlotte — with no unionized hotels and in a state where compulsory union membership or the payment of dues is prohibited as an employment condition." -- CNS News

Support for gay marriage brings decline to her defenders. General Mills is next.
I recall Democrats saying “there is a God” when Hurricane Gustav rocked the Republican convention in 2008.
Heh heh heh.
I'm sure NC sounded good on paper
Thousands of anarchists, socialists and professional agitators also plan on protesting in Charlotte. After giving Mr. Hollow Hope and Change a first-term pass, self-declared progressives can't ignore Team Obama's in-your-face decision to deliver his presidential nomination acceptance speech at bailed-out Bank of America Stadium.
Disgruntled leftists. Disgruntled centrists. Disgruntled unions. Disgruntled corporate donors. Sexual harassment scandal. Fundraising woes. And to top it all off: unrepentant class-warfare hypocrisy packaged as "The People's Convention" and brought to you by Bank of America. The DNC promises to be a public relations nightmare for Obama's optics geniuses. Too bad he can't send his autopen instead.
As the public watches this all unfold they will have to wonder what is happening here. Since the mainstream media is in the tank for him the TV might now show the protests and problems as it spins the events for him.
Don't forget Fast & Furious. That one's also starting to take on a life of its own, despite the media spin. 300 confirmed Mexican citizens murdered, at least one US Border Patrol agent killed.
Change His Address 2012!
I love Michelle Malkin. She is a beacon of truth in a sea of liberal lies and distortions.
Go Michelle M!
Michelle gives it to you straight and pure with no lies. She is awesome. I put here up there with other conservatives like Thomas Sowell.
I especially anticipate the glorious adoption of the pseudo-marriage plank in the Democratic platform.
That will be a real moment for Obama, coming as it will in the state which just rejected pseudo-marriage by a 22 point landslide
