"Biden to hold rallies in three N.C. cities biden Posted: Oct. 20 10:48 p.m. Raleigh, N.C. — Joe Biden, the running mate of Democrat Barack Obama, plans to make solo appearances in three North Carolina cities Thursday, the campaign announced Monday. The vice-presidential candidate will make his last stop of the day at Meredith College in Raleigh. He will speak at 7 p.m. in McIver Amphitheater, 3800 Hillsborough St. Tickets are not required for the free event, but officials urged people to RSVP at the campaign's Web site. Doors open at 5 p.m., and space is available on a first-come, first-served basis. Biden plans to first conduct a rally in Charlotte, followed by a 2:15 p.m. rally on Hearn Plaza at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem. Details of the Charlotte event have not been announced. Biden's appearances comes as polls point to a tight race between Obama and his Republican rival John McCain in a state that has quickly become a battleground. McCain conducted two rallies in North Carolina last week, while Obama made his sixth visit to the Tar Heel state since the May primary. Biden has appeared solo once before in North Carolina, while McCain's running mate, Sarah Palin, has spoken before North Carolina crowds twice this month. The last Democrat that North Carolina voters picked for president was Jimmy Carter in 1976."

It's fucking smart. I'd love to know the history of the US using different shit than the rest of the world (metric system along with the Celsius and Fahrenheit). Both of our systems make no fucking sense at all compared to the metric and celsius.

And it would be awesome if NC would go democrat this year. I know I did my part.

Hahahaha I have yet to understand why we aren't using the metric system. Even measurements in culinary school use the metric system. It was hilarious watching people try to figure it out.

I'm not saying we convert back to it now dumbass, only that the metric system makes more sense....but who was the dumbass who originally said we should use inches and feet??

And hey...let's use Fahrenheit when Celsius makes complete sense. Let's see...boiling is 100 degrees...and freezing is zero degrees. Nononono...freezing should be 32 degrees...so much more sense.
