The presidential nominees are in for a down to wire competition in NC. With Both parties rallying in the state it is becoming more evenly divided. recent polls such as cnn have Obama at 51 % and Mcain at 47%, Fox news has the polls set at 51-48 in favor of Obama. local tv station in NC, wsoc tv has it a little closer at a 48-46 % in favor of obama. so in all polls it seems to be a close race and with recent protests it should only get tighter.

A recent article suggests yes. in recent weeks Mcain and Palin have entered the state of NC and have had at least 4 rallies with violent incidents. At 4 of the rallies there were incident of reporters and the obama supporters being assaulted. First, a reporter was assaulted at a Palin rally held last Thursday at Elon College. Reporter Joe Killian was kicked to the ground by a Palin supporter as he was trying to interview protestors at the event who backed Barack Obama. An MSNBC sound man was hit with a rock thrown by another Palin supporter at the same rally. later in the week over 30 Obama supproters had their tires slashed while at a Obama rally. here is a link to the article with a video clip of such harrasment towards the obama supporters.
