It's official: I'm taking off work tomorrow, braving the Labor Day weekend traffic, uploading a few podcasts to my iPod, and spending a lot of money on gas in order to haul myself down to Atlanta. WOO!
I'll be staying with Seema Reddy, and you guys have my digits!
(Just to make things clear, this visit has nothing to do with wanting to see you all, and everything to do with H&M finally opening.)

In other news, two new polls just came out for North Carolina politics.
Both have Democrats ahead in almost every statewide race. Democratic-leaning Public Policy Polling shows Bev Perdue leading 43% to 38% in the governor's race, while Republican-leaning Civitas reports a 43% to 41% lead.
In the race for U.S. Senate, Civitas shows Elizabeth Dole ahead of Democrat Kay Hagan 44% to 41% (probably within the margin of error). Elizabeth Dole gets under my skin in the worst kind of way, so fortunately for me Kay Hagan has $6 million in ads currently streaming from the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. For the past few weeks the DSCC has been firebombing Dole with negative ads, and Dole has merely responded with a weak and boring positive ad. (And no, I don't know why every political ad in North Carolina stars old people.)
In the presidential election Civitas shows McCain leading Obama 46% to 40% in North Carolina. The results were published yesterday, so I don't know if the polling was done before or after Michelle Obama's speech at the DNC, which my boss thinks may have a significant effect on the 12% of undecided voters. Take into account both the DNC and Civitas's Republican bias (Public Policy didn't poll for any national races), and there's really no telling.
Sigh, politics.
