CONCLUSIONS AND OBSERVATIONS
Lower turnout nationally, narrow victory for Obama
Real significance of Obama victory will come in 2014 Republicans mopped up in North Carolina, did even
better in Beaufort County
Straight party voting defeated Lawson and Cook Gang of 5 has been broken up. Paired voting and
marked sample ballots work
The Conservative Movement in Beaufort County is alive and well, and growing
CLOSING THOUGHT
If each person in this room tonight identified 10 people who believe
in the same principles we believe in and got each of those 10 people
to vote for a conservative Republican in November 2014, and got
each of these people to do likewise with 10 people they identified,
we could replace Kay Hagan with a Republican who would vote to
control Barack Obama in his last two years.
Just 10 people getting 10 people would be all that would be needed.
