N.C. turns blue early today Obama doesn’t need state for win By KELLEN MOORE AND Ariel Zirulnick SENIOR WRITERS

When Sen. Barack Obama was declared President of the United States on Tuesday night, the landslide win was the culmination of supporters’ months of hard work and dreams. “I’m speechless and ecstatic. It’s like Christmas morning. You know what’s under the tree. You can see the shape of it. You can shake it,” said Bolu Adeyeye, a sophomore celebrating with UNC Young Democrats at Top of the Hill. “But it’s not ’til Christmas morn-

ing that you can open it and touch it and have it in your hands. That’s what this feels like.” One state still uncounted when the race was called was North Carolina, previously heralded as a critical state. Obama declared national victory while he and Republican opponent Sen. John McCain were tied at about 49 percent of the state. As of 12:45 a.m. today, Obama led 50 percent to 49 percent. “Even if he doesn’t win North Carolina, we’ve changed North Carolina from a red state to a purple state,” said Vivek Chilukuri, UNC

kay hagan - 52%

Young Democrats co-president. Young Democrats have been a force on the UNC campus since the Democratic primary race last spring. The demographic they represent was a key component in making North Carolina a swing state in this election year. And despite inconclusive state results, N.C. Democrats rejoiced. “Maybe it’s cliche to say he’s the right person at the right time, but I honestly believe that,” said Joseph Cohen, an Obama supporter from Apex who was at the N.C. Democratic Party celebration in Raleigh on Tuesday night. In Chapel Hill, Young Democrats waited anxiously as results came in. Many arrived late because they

Hagan’s upset victory stuns incumbent Dole By Olivia Hammill staff writer

GREENSBORO — A Democratic victory in North Carolina’s U.S. Senate race seemed unlikely several months ago, but N.C. Sen. Kay Hagan beat incumbent Republican Sen. Elizabeth Dole handily Tuesday. “A little over a year ago, when I got into this race, the press, the pundits, other politicians and all were ready to write this race off and hand Dole the keys to her office for another six years,” the Guilford County Democrat said in her acceptance speech at Greensboro Coliseum. Hagan’s win was decisive enough that the race was called unofficially by 9:30 p.m., although Dole didn’t concede until after 10 p.m. “It’s been the highest honor of my life to be elected the first female senator in North Carolina history,” Dole told the crowd at her

spent the last hours of the election working for every last vote they could get. “It’s going to be very close, probably less than a percentage point,” said Justin Rosenthal, a sophomore and Young Democrats officer, before Obama’s victory was declared. Obama led with the first slew of national exit polls and poll returns, and his lead only increased as more states reported. “This is once in a lifetime. This is what we’ve been waiting for. To be able to take part in an election like this is amazing,” said Melanie McGrath, a doctoral student at

McCrory hands win to Perdue BY Matt Lynley Staff writer

RALEIGH — Lt. Gov. Bev Perdue came out on top of a bitterly close gubernatorial race Tuesday night. With 95 counties reporting as of 11:15 p.m., she had 50 percent of the vote. “We in the Tar Heel state have made history,” she said in her acceptance speech shortly after 11 p.m. Pat McCrory, who had received 47 percent of the vote as of 11:35 p.m., had conceded the race less than half an 0.hour earlier. Libertarian Mike Munger won 2.8 percent of the vote. As the crowd at the Republican election night party in Raleigh listened to McCrory’s concession speech, several female supporters began to cry. “I thought he ran a great campaign, really thought he would come through,” said Crystal Lasater, a GOP volunteer. T he race remained tight throughout the evening, echoing the trend of the entire campaign. Since the primaries ended in May, Perdue and McCrory often polled well within the margin of error of each other. Perdue supporters were opti-

And most places have called it a tight race since the beginning.” The supporters seemed confident that trends unrelated to Perdue would benefit her. “I believe she’s going to win this.

McCrory doesn’t have a chance, and history will welcome her as the first woman governor of North Carolina,” said Brenda Pollard, third vice president of N.C. Democratic Women.

Lingerie ﬁtted with GPS now available

From staff and wire reports

eminists around the world are in an outrage over a new line of lingerie that comes complete with a GPS tracking system. The lingerie/GPS combination has been described as a modern-day, high-tech alternative to the classic chastity belt. Insecure men can buy the undergarments for their wives, program them and monitor them. The garment includes lace bodice, bikini bottom and faux fur collar, with the GPS device nestled in the see-through part of the bodice next to the waist. Still, women have the option to turn off the GPS. The line’s creator said she hopes the line will be used more for protection during a late night out alone. NOTED. For every year from 1940 to 2000, if the Washington Redskins won in the week before the presidential election, the incumbent party also scored a victory. The only exception to the rule was in 2004 when the Redskins lost, yet Bush still won a re-election. The Pittsburgh Steelers beat the Redskins Monday, 23-6. Thus, Obama had a 94.4 percent chance of winning, according to the prediction.

Bus driver faces misdemeanor By Thomas Pearce Staff Writer

James Willie Orr, driver of the bus that struck and killed a pedestrian last week, faces a charge for not yielding at the crosswalk. Orr came to the police station to be served with the warrant Tuesday, said Capt. Christopher Blue of the Chapel Hill Police Department. Orr faces a misdemeanor count of death by vehicle for the accident that killed Valerie Hughes. Chapel Hill Transit has also terminated Orr’s eight-year employment, according to a statement from Chapel Hill Town Manager Roger Stancil. Hughes, 33, was crossing South

Columbia Street at a crosswalk Monday when she was struck by a NS-route bus turning left from Mason Farm Road. She was taken to UNC Hospitals and died from her injuries Oct. 28. Hughes was a radiology imaging specialist for UNC Health Care since November 2007. Orr was placed on administrative leave without pay immediately after the incident. He was not terminated until the town completed its investigation. Orr is scheduled to appear in court Jan. 12. Chapel Hill Transit Director Steve Spade said the department will try to see what can be done to

prevent such an accident from happening again. “We’re always hopeful that something positive could come out of a tragedy like this,” Spade said. Hughes is the second pedestrian to die after being hit by a Chapel Hill Transit bus this year. Scottish exchange student Lisa Carolyn Moran, 20, was struck May 15 as she jogged across Manning Drive near South Columbia, about 200 yards north of Hughes’ collision. Moran was not at a crosswalk and police filed no charges in the case. Contact the City Editor at citydesk@unc.edu.

ELECTION 2008

obama win prompts Franklin st. rush BY Nate Hewitt Features editor

Unsuspecting traffic slammed on brakes Tuesday night, including a screeching P2P bus, halting to thousands of students flocking to the corner of Franklin and Columbia streets. But instead of being annoyed, many vehicles honked their horns in approval. “This is a moment that we are going to remember for the rest of our lives, and we got to be a part of it,” senior Chloe Bacon said while jumping up and down on Franklin. Blue-lit police cars sped up to part the mounds of enthusiasts to the street sides, but the crowds soon resumed bumping chests and highfiving in front of eager vehicles. Students screamed and cheered and hugged each other, but at the sound of Barack Obama’s voice, the crowd fell silent. A man holding up a boom box allowed the revelers to hear Obama’s victory speech. “I can’t even say anything,” said Patrick Turner, a 2008 graduate. “In first grade they told us we wouldn’t see a black president in our lifetime.” Ju n i o r p s y c h o l o g y m a j o r Heather Hall said she had never rushed Franklin Street. But she had her first chance to rush when she joined others chanting “USA,” “Yes We Can” and “Yes We Did.” “It’s not like I’m not a basketball fan — I just haven’t had the chance,” she said. Hall started her Tuesday evening eating pizza and sipping beer while glued to CNN’s coverage of the 2008 presidential election. “I’m here to see the polls come in and hopefully see Obama win,” Hall said. “If Obama wins I’m definitely rushing Franklin, but if McCain

wins I’m flying to Canada.” While Tuesday was the first time most undergraduates had the opportunity to vote for president, it was a point of redemption for others. First-year medical student Lindsay Foley said she was excited about this election because it was the first time she may have had an impact on the victor. Foley, who earned her undergraduate degree from UNC last spring, voted for Sen. John Kerry in the 2004 election. It was the first year she was eligible to vote. Just after the results from Vermont and Kentucky were projected at about 7 p.m., Foley said she had high hopes for Obama but was not getting her hopes up just yet. “In the bubble of Chapel Hill, of course we think he’s going to win,” she said. “But you never know. There’s still a chance.” Although people of all ages were eating dinner and enjoying drinks along Franklin, most sported Obama buttons, T-shirts and stickers. McCain supporters were scarce. “I’ve seen a lot more people parading around with McCain stickers today,” Hall said. “I don’t know where they are. I felt like a lot of people would be out even if they are voting for McCain.” The UNC School of Law chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union hosted a nonpartisan scholarship fundraiser at Mansion 462. “Of course there are plenty Republicans in the law school,” said Michael Gordon, a first-year law student. “I tried to get them to come out, but some either said they lived too far away to come or didn’t want to be around a bunch of liberals.” Contact the Features Editor at features@unc.edu.

early voting eclipses Tuesday numbers BY KatY MccoY staFF Writer

The biggest problem Orange County polling places faced on Election Day was boredom. That was the general consensus at the Orange County Board of Elections headquarters on East King Street in Hillsborough. Volunteer Melvin Beasley, of Cedar Grove, acted as a rover, visiting various polling places as needed. “There were no long waits,” Beasley said, adding that unimpressive turnout on Election Day was probably due to a high number of early-voting ballots. In Orange County, 74,920 total ballots were cast in the general election — 71 percent of registered voters. About 55,000 of those came from one-stop early voting and absentee ballots. For many polling sites in Orange County, excitement for poll workers was pretty limited. The Westwood polling place saw only 195 ballots cast from 1,701 registered voters. Polling sites at Union Grove Methodist Church, Smith Middle School, Mary Scroggs Elementary

School and others reported having little to no lines to vote at times. Battle Park polling place had no one show up to vote before noon, said Tracy Reams, director of the Orange County Board of Elections. Billie Cox, the board’s chairwoman, said because of a change in the law regarding mail-in ballots since 2004, county workers could begin the 20-hour process of counting and checking mail-in and absentee ballots early. This meant the turnout numbers were available by the time the polls closed Tuesday. She suggested the county include miniature games in the packets for polling place officials to keep them occupied. The county did not implement her suggestion. “One of our poll workers asked if we could bring a poker deck by,” said John Felton, an elections board member and retired chemist. “We had about three hours this afternoon of good hard detail work: counting, tabulating and cross checking to make sure the

counts were right.” But low turnout doesn’t mean voting numbers were low this year. Although Aldersgate Methodist Church in Chapel Hill wasn’t packed Tuesday afternoon, Kings Mill precinct members still voted in record numbers. Only 45 voters shy of the 80 percent voter turnout mark at 3:30 p.m., this year will be a record showing for the precinct, said Roberta Black, chief judge for the precinct. Cindy Brantley, who works for Durham County but has filled in for the Orange County elections board the past three years, said Tuesday’s process went smoothly because officials were very well prepared. “They have a good manual for precinct officials and were staffed well,” she said. Brantley spoke with voters and precinct officials all day. While she didn’t hear many complaints from voters, she said some residents attempted to vote only to discover that they weren’t registered. Staff Writers Leah Hughes and Hillary Rose Owens contributed reporting. Contact the State and National Editor at stntdesk@unc.edu.

No Republican has ever won the presidency without Ohio. Ohio was also the decisive state that granted victory to Bush in the 2004 election.

Election 2008

The Daily Tar Heel

Kinnaird wins handily; uncontested Orange County representatives look ahead Kinnaird beats bass Democratic incumbent Ellie Kinnaird won a seventh term representing the 23rd District in the N.C. Senate with more than 70 percent of the votes, according to early projections. Jon “Greg” Bass, a first-time candidate for office, was Kinnaird’s Republican challenger. Kinnaird’s goals for this term include funding energy alternatives and conservation, as well as helping the mentally disabled people secure fair competency tests during capital trials. “My immediate priority is to close the $2 billion budget deficit and prevent good programs from getting cut,” Kinnaird said Tuesday night. “We want to keep all the programs that help people around. I also plan to launch a juvenile justice bill to help juveniles at risk before they enter the penal system.” In the past, Kinnaird has fought for issues such as one-stop and early voting, environmental regulation and social justice. She has said she will bring weight and influence to affect policymaking in a way that newcomer Bass could not. “I like Ellie Kinnaird,” said sup-

porter Sunny Marlow, who came out to Spice Street to celebrate Election Night with fellow Orange County Democrats. “I believe she will do good things for Orange County and continue the spirit of community we have here.” Bass had hoped to steer state lottery funds toward education, provide better salaries for teachers and educators via a beer and cigar tax, and lower corporate and state property taxes. He was also committed to getting rid of personal and party agendas by ignoring interest groups and lobbyists and listening to the majority opinion of citizens.

speaker joe hackney N.C. House Speaker Joe Hackney, D-Orange, was unopposed in the race for the N.C. House of Representatives seat in District 54. In his fifteenth term, he will seek to move North Carolina toward the increased use of renewable energy. Hackney’s Orange County constituents said they’ve been impressed with his work. “Joe Hackney is our hero,” said supporter Don Artis.

“Orange County was making up the rules as they went along. We had a land issue, and based on Joe Hackney, it worked out in our favor.” Hackney said state legislators will need to focus on economic issues during the course of their next term. “We’ll be getting together to try to manage the reduction to revenues that we’re facing as a result of the recession,” he said. “I’m sure we’ll have an agenda to set forth at a later time, but that will be a priority.”

rep. verla insko Rep. Verla Insko, D-Orange, also ran unopposed, winning a seventh term in District 56 of the N.C. House of Representatives. Her goals include reforming health care by expanding state coverage for children under the State Children’s Health Insurance Plan. She also supports higher salaries for teachers. During the campaign, Insko stressed the effectiveness of senior House members. “We have enough seniority that we can actually accomplish things and get bills passed.”

She also said that the three unopposed candidates for the N.C. House have been effective representatives for their constituents. “We reflect the values of our districts,” Insko said in reference to fellow legislators Hackney and Faison.

rep. bill faison Rep. Bill Faison, D-Orange, another unopposed candidate, won a third term in District 50 of the N.C. House of Representatives. Next session, Faison said he’ll focus on supporting legislation that provides incentives for entrepreneurs who create new jobs in the state. He has also pushed for improved high-speed Internet access in rural areas. “We certainly do have problems with the economy to deal. We certainly have to deal with the funding of school issues,” Faison said on Election Night. “Some schools are underfunded. We have desperate needs for economic development, and we have a continuing health care problem,” he said. -COMPILED BY ASHLEE EDWARDS AND NICOLE FRANCESCHINI

Watch parties anticipate results FROM STAFF REPORTS

Students on campus waited Tuesday night for election results that have kept UNC in a flurry for months.

In the Student Union lounge Sophomore Doug Olivier said he was confident in the outcome of the election early Tuesday night. “I think the election is pretty much set in stone — Obama is going to win,” Olivier said around 9 p.m. “I’ve been following the exit polls, and it looks like Obama will definitely win,” Olivier said. “Of course they are not always accurate, but the polls tend to be a good predictor.” Other students said they felt as though student opinions on who would win had been skewed by the environment at UNC. “We sort of live in an Obamabubble,” said first-year graduate student Ross Twele said. He said he felt that the displays of support for Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama around campus might lead students to believe that he has a secure handle on the state. While Obama’s supporters have been active on campus, the rest of the state wasn’t as clear. Junior Monica Matta said she was excited about North Carolina’s battleground status. “We have more influence as voters than we have before” she said.

ORANGE COUNTY COMMISSIONER

PELISSIER (D) - 70 % WOLFF (R) - 30 %

COLEMAN - 65 % WOLFENDEN - 35 %

Locals win by large margins By McKay Glasgow and Evan rose A new Orange County Commissioner embraced friends and family at the Town Hall Grill in Chapel Hill as results filtered in. Bernadette Pelissier, a Democrat, beat Republican Kevin Wolff by more than 38 percentage points. She said she is already looking forward to being a commissioner. “It’s not like, OK now we can party,” she said. “I have to say lately I’ve been anticipating the work.” Pelissier won the race for the atlarge seat currently filled by Moses Carey Jr., who lost in a Democratic primary for the N.C. Senate. In the May primary, Pelissier defeated Mary Wolff, Kevin Wolff ’s wife, and Rogers Road activist Neloa Jones. This year’s race was Kevin Wolff ’s third attempt at public office. He ran for Chapel Hill mayor in 2005 and 2007, losing both times to current Mayor Kevin Foy. Wolff could not be reached for further comment. Pelissier will join two other newcomers to the board, Pam Hemminger and Steve Yuhasz. Hemminger, who will step down as chairwoman of the Chapel HillCarrboro City Schools Board of Education, was unchallenged in the district which includes Chapel Hill and Carrboro. Yuhasz beat out three other Democrats in May for his seat in the district that encompasses the rest of the county. No Republican candidate ran against Hemminger or Yuhasz in the general election. Incumbent Valerie Foushee kept her seat in an unopposed race. This is the first commissioner election since a 2006 referendum divided Orange County into two voting districts and expanded the board from five to seven members.

Incumbent District Court Judge Alonzo Coleman Jr. was re-elected Tuesday and will continue as District

District Court Judge Alonzo Coleman Jr. was re-elected to District 15B and will serve for six months. 15B judge for another six months. “It’s nice to have the affirmations of people you’ve served for almost 13 years,” he said. “I hope I can continue to earn their trust.” Coleman defeated challenger and local attorney Betsy Wolfenden by a landslide margin of more than 37 percentage points. Coleman will hold the seat until he turns 72 in June 2009, when N.C. law will require him to retire and the new governor to appoint a replacement. Coleman has ser ved as a District 15B judge, hearing cases from Orange and Chatham counties, since former Gov. Jim Hunt appointed him in 1995. Page Vernon will also join the District 15B bench, filling District Court Judge Patricia DeVine’s seat. “It feels great,” she said. “Part of it is excitement and part of it is relief.” Vernon, with more than 25 years of local law experience, won by a wide margin after defense attorney Glenn Gerding conceded in October. Beverly Scarlett and Chuck Anderson were not challenged in their incumbent bids for district court seats. Wolfenden, a divorce lawyer for eight years in Orange County, said she is disappointed by the loss but will continue to fight for changes as an attorney. “We need changes in the court house,” she said. “I hope the young lawyers will carry the torch.” Contact the City Editor at citydesk@unc.edu.

Carmichael-Whitehead party And although some students weren’t as excited about Obama’s prospects, they admitted that he was likely to win. Sophomore and CarmichaelWhitehead Community Governor Christina Fluet, who organized that community’s watch party, said she had no doubts about the outcome of the presidential election. “Obama will win the state and the presidency hands down, but that’s something I’m not exactly excited for,” the self-identified McCain supporter said. The Carmichael-Whitehead party included an “Election Night Extravaganza” contest. Residents predicted the outcome of the presidential election, and whoever guessed correctly would be awarded a $25 for dinner at any restaurant on Franklin Street. Some residents at the watch party didn’t vote in this year’s election. Mikel Wein is a first-year student and a member of the Democratic Socialists of America.

“It’s exciting that this election marks the pinnacle in American history. It’s unique that this is happening to us as undergraduates” STACY RAMSEY, JUNIOR Wein abstained from voting this year, citing a “lack of choice” among candidates, but has followed the election closely. “North Carolina is going to go for Obama,” he said at about 9 p.m. “But I think McCain will win because predictions have been wrong before.” Staff writers Ian Ager, Chris Kennedy, Roxanne Hernandez and Alli Yingling reported this story.

B.j. lawson - 37%

david price - 63%

Price beats Lawson to keep congressional seat D e s p i t e R e p u b l i c a n B . J. Lawson’s success at attracting attention to his candidacy for North Carolina’s 4th Congressional District, long-term Democratic incumbent, U.S. Rep. David Price, D-N.C. will retain his seat. Price’s final margin of victory, was almost 27 percentage points, according to unofficial tallies — not surprising for the incumbent now elected to his 11th term in the House. “It’s a nice vote of confidence; it’s part of a larger victory for others: like (Kay) Hagan, Obama of course, hopefully,” Price said shortly before 10 p.m. In his concession speech, Lawson said he would continue to fight for reform. “This isn’t a battle that’s going to be won overnight,” he said. “So many people today look at Washington and know something’s wrong.” Supporters at Lawson’s election watch party acknowledged that it was a difficult year to run as a Republican. Lawson fought hard for publicity throughout the campaign. Even Price’s supporters were impressed.

“He definitely won the battle of the signs. He has more signs in his district than any other opponent of David’s ever,” said Price’s wife, Lisa. “He’s still got his work cut out after tonight taking those signs down.” However, Price’s experience proved key. “He is just now hitting his stride,” said Pat Spearman, the treasurer of the Price campaign. “What a lot of people don’t realize is you have to serve in Congress for a long time to be able to move legislation through successfully.” Daniel Wilkes, a 2008 UNC graduate who attended the N.C. Democratic Party election watch party, also said Price’s years in Congress are a plus. “Price has been a great representative in Congress for years. He’ll be able to provide better leadership and press his progressive agenda in a Democratic Congress.” The candidates’ philosophies were fundamentally different in several areas, especially interpretation of the U.S. Constitution and economic policy. During the campaign, Lawson stressed his firm belief in interpreting the Constitution as it is writ-

ten — a belief which Price said will limit the federal government from providing essential services. Lisa Price said Lawson’s campaign was ineffective and overly negative. “They made a lot of personal attacks on David, calling him a liar and other inappropriate ways to campaign.” Price said his priorities for his next term include executing the financial rescue plan, enacting another stimulus package and working on other important issues such as education, health care and infrastructure reform. During the campaign, the two candidates presented different economic plans. Lawson favored deregulating the banking system and opposed the recently passed $700 billion bailout plan. Bob Whitehurst from Wake Forest approved of Lawson’s candidacy. “I think at the very least we’ll put some pressure on David Price to listen to his constituents.” Staff Writer Caroline Dye contributed reporting.

U.S. Rep. David Price handily beat Republican challenger B.J. Lawson to keep his seat in Congress. “It’s a nice vote of confidence,” Price said shortly before 10 p.m. after the win for his 11th term was evident.

Third parties have minimal e≠ect gone up and the Commission on Presidential Debates would have had to include him. The commission requires that candidates have a 15 percent showing in the polls to be invited. Still, Nader doesn’t think that his third presidential run was in vain. “We documented the two-party dictatorship, we’ve won ballot access and we’ve educated a lot of people about what politics should be about,” he said. Nader was on the ballot in 45 states and the District of Columbia. “Nobody wanted to talk about the poor, except Edwards,” he said of former Democratic candidate

John Edwards of North Carolina. “No one opposed nuclear power, except us.” The Bush administration’s $700 billion Wall Street bailout gave Nader a bully pulpit. He complained, however, that no one took up his call to fund the rescue with a one-tenth of 1 percent tax on the complex financial instruments called derivatives. “Make them pay for their own mistakes,” he said. Nader said that his purpose now is to build a “third political force,” not a party. Libertarian N.C. gubernatorial candidate Mike Munger also ended on the sidelines in a close two-party race between Lt. Gov. Bev Perdue and Charlotte Mayor Pat McCrory.

“I thought HAGAN WINS from page 1 (McCrory) ran a Salisbury rally. In a speech that summarized her great campaign, long-lasting political career, Dole really thought he said she has worked hard to serve of North Carolina. would come through.” the“Ipeople have done my level best to make

and clout necessary to work in Washington, but Hagan likely benefited from a nationwide desire for change that has trickled down to the state level. “She has the intellect, integrity and level of energy. She will make a name for herself in the Senate within the first year,” said Mike Solomon of Greensboro, who worked with Hagan twice to elect former N.C. Gov. Jim Hunt. Hagan made gains by portraying Dole as entrenched in Washington and out of touch with the state. And the Greensboro resident’s ample funding allowed her to wage an aggressive campaign that cast doubt on Dole. “Kay ran a great race — she spoke about the economy, jobs and issues people really care about,” said Dave Hoffman, spokesman for the Hagan campaign. Hagan promised Tuesday night to bring fresh ideas to the Senate. “To the North Carolinians who didn’t vote for me, I am going to be working hard for the next six years to earn your vote,” Hagan said. “Because Democrats, Republicans or Independent, the ideas we need to create good paying jobs and turn our economy around won’t have a party label.”

Nader cites lack of media coverage From wire reports

WASHINGTON (MCT) — In a year that offered a stark choice between the Democratic and Republican presidential candidates, third-party candidates were left on the sidelines. Independent Ralph Nader and Libertarian Bob Barr found themselves without the needed media coverage to make a splash. In Massachusetts, which Nader said was his best state, he won just 0.9 percent of the vote to Democrat Barack Obama’s 61.6 percent and Republican Sen. John McCain’s 36.7 percent. Barr won 0.4 percent.

perdue wins from page 1

said Don Davis, in attendance at the N.C. Democratic Party celebration Tuesday night. During the campaign, the candidates provided voters with a choice between an upheaval of the status quo and seasoned experience. McCrory, who was re-elected as Charlotte mayor a record of seven consecutive times, billed himself as an agent of change. McCrory frequently chastised Gov. Mike Easley’s administration for its lack of transparency and highlighted corruption in the Democrat-led legislature, where Perdue presided over the Senate as lieutenant governor. But critics used McCrory’s selfproclaimed “outsider’s perspective” to declare him unqualified to run the state. Perdue campaigned on the basis of her experience, selling herself as better equipped to handle the legislature in North Carolina. Perdue is a Raleigh veteran who was elected to the N.C. General Assembly in 1986, first as a representative then as a senator. She served until 2000, when she was elected lieutenant governor.

UNC who also was at Top of the Hill, where the Young Democrats celebrated. Despite Obama’s early leads, McCain’s supporters kept their hopes up for a while. “I wish it wasn’t happening,” said Linda Daves, chairwoman of the N.C. Republican Party. “We had some good moments and some sad moments tonight.” Prior to final results, she said there was still a chance North Carolina might prevail for McCain. Some Republicans went into Election Day predicting the nationwide result because of the last several weeks’ polling. “I came into this expecting to lose,” said first-year physics major Anthony Dent. “What is shocking to me is until today McCain had a shot.” The victory caps off weeks of a steady lead on Republican opponent McCain. Before that, the candidates traded the frontrunner spot for months. North Carolina was privy to the back-and-forth as a potential swing state. Obama made serious inroads here, but the state still was too close to call at midnight.

Nader had his moment in 2000, when his showing in Florida as the Green Party candidate effectively tipped the election to Republican George W. Bush. Democrat Al Gore lost the state — and the presidency — by 537 votes. Many Democrats tagged Nader, who drew more than 97,000 Florida votes, a “spoiler.” There were no spoilers this time. “It would be a three-way race if I’d been in the debates,” Nader said Tuesday in an interview. If the networks and newspapers had covered him, he said, his poll numbers would have

crystal lasater, gop volunteer Carl Wilkins, an engineer from Raleigh whose wife works for the N.C. GOP, said Tuesday night that a McCrory victory would have been a welcome change. “He is very different from Gov. Easley,” Wilkins said. “McCrory is very open, inclusive and ready to serve the people.” Perdue supporters in Raleigh on Tuesday night called attempts to tie Perdue to corruption cheap shots. “McCrory’s attempt to pin corruption on Perdue is a typical political ploy to scare and persuade voters who don’t know her personally,” said Raleigh supporter Elmo Vance. Staff Writer Meghan Cooke contributed reporting.

A grueling campaign may now be behind Obama, but he will have to immediately confront some monumental obstacles — a struggling economy and the war in Iraq, among others. “We may look back on this as the most important election of our lifetimes,” said U.S. Rep. David Price, D-N.C. Obama now has to pull together a country that has been divided by almost two years of contentious campaigning. “You fight hard and then the election happens and you come together to govern the country,” said Chapel Hill Town Manager Roger Stancil, also at Top of the Hill, surrounded by students. “That’s what this country is all about.” Staff writers Rachel Glover, Kevin Kiley, Kate Sullivan, Meghan Cooke and Tarini Parti contributed reporting.

you proud,” Dole said. “I‘ve worn the mantle of my responsibility to North Carolina with deep delight.” Hagan won with about 52 percent to Dole’s 44 percent, up even from Monday’s polls. Libertarian Christopher Cole captured about 3 percent. Some noted backlash from Dole’s unpopular “Promises” ad accusing Hagan of accepting money from an atheist political action committee. “The timing and misdirection were rather transparent. It went over like a lead balloon,” said Greg Sanders, who canvassed for the Obama campaign. “But that doesn’t account for all of it,” added Sanders’ wife Laurel. “Her reputation makes up for a lot of why she’s winning.” Hagan’s vote percentage marked a huge jump from the summer, when she trailed by 14 percentage points. Last spring, it seemed doubtful that Hagan, not even well-known across the whole state, could be a legitimate challenger for Dole, who had an established reputation and a long career in Washington. Dole tried to sell herself as the candidate with the experience

Democrats lay claim to broad authority From wire reports

After the presidential victory of Barack Obama, the Democrats Tuesday night were heading toward the ultimate prize for an American political party: closing in on the White House and seizing both chambers of Congress with majorities not seen in years. If they succeed, party leaders could immediately look to claim a broad mandate. Democratic priorities of enacting universal health care, consumer protections and sweeping environmental laws have been downplayed and often ridiculed for years, and they are eager to plunge ahead. The danger for Democrats is that they might overreach, interpreting what is largely a public disenchantment with the Republicans as a green light to charge forward with controversial ideas, and they could quickly dissipate the power that seemed within their grasp. “There will be a lot of pressure on ... Obama to try to fulfill some of that more liberal agenda,” said Leon Panetta, who was White House chief of staff to President Clinton. “I think that when Americans voted for change, they did not vote

for change from one extreme to the other. They voted for working together to solve problems,” he added. The apparently decisive vote, coupled with a climate favorable for change, could provide Democrats with a rare opportunity to enact a wide-ranging agenda. Congress is anxious to flex its muscles after eight years of under President Bush, who expanded his own authority at Congress’ expense. On top of that, the crisis in the financial system has created a public climate that is friendlier to regulation and government action than at any time in the past three decades. Democrats, for their part, argue that the times call for dramatic action. “There is going to be a sense of urgency, not just because we won, but because two million homes are about to go into foreclosure,” Rep. Phil Hare, D-Ill., said Tuesday night. “We have to move fairly quickly. When you are losing your home and your 401(k), there is a sense of urgency on the part of the American people.”

The Daily Tar Heel Campus Briefs

Elections to fill six vacant seats in Student Congress Special elections held today will decide how to fill six vacancies in Student Congress. One undergraduate student seat for the Granville Towers district, two professional student seats and three graduate student seats are up for grabs. The Granville Towers seat is the only contested one on the ballot. The two students running are firstyear Caitlin Goforth and junior Bryce Creedon. All the other seats are uncontested. But Congress Speaker Tim Nichols said those seats, especially the graduate seats, could be competitive through write-in votes. The results of the election will be released Thursday afternoon. Visit University News at www.daily tarheel.com for the full story.

Employee forum to discuss staff fundraising measures The University Employee Forum will discuss a resolution today to request that the next capital campaign include University funding for projects — an aspect employees say was lacking in previous capital campaigns. The group’s officers hope that the University’s new campaign, which goes by the working title Carolina Big, will provide more money for faculty and staff. UNC’s last capital campaign, Carolina First, raised $2.38 billion but did not provide money specifically for employees, forum officers said. The resolution outlines 10 projects for which the group hopes to receive funding. Projects include “education initiatives” that would help send employees’ children to college, as well as provide continued education for University staff. Alan Moran, chairman of the committee that drafted the requests, said the resolution is in its early stages. Moran said the forum will review the resolution and it will then likely go back to the committee with recommendations from the whole group. The final resolution will probably not be presented to administrators until December. Visit University News at www.daily tarheel.com for the full story.

CITY BRIEFS

Rogers still in the running, brings candidate total to 8 Will Rogers says he hasn’t taken himself out of the running for the open seat on the Chapel Hill Town Council. Rogers missed Monday’s meeting due to a family emergency. The council voted to formally nominate the seven candidates who did present during the meeting. Rogers said Tuesday that he hadn’t heard anything about his status but still hopes to fill the seat. The council will vote Nov. 10 to appoint a member to serve out the remaining year for the seat that has been open since Bill Thorpe passed away in September.

Local governments might pay for state-owned roads A state transportation committee may transfer responsibility for 5,000 miles of state-maintained roads to cities and towns like Chapel Hill. But state subsidies would not cover added costs of road maintenance for local governments, which would need to generate more revenue, said David Bonk, Chapel Hill’s long range and transportation coordinator. “If we have to assume more responsibility here, local taxpayers would bear the burden,” he said. “The cost of maintaining roads would have to be factored into our available funding.” While most states provide infrastructure and maintenance to only 20 to 25 percent of the roads, North Carolina maintains 80 percent of its roads, officials said.

UNC victory Nogueira leads by example never in doubt By Joe McLean

Assistant Sports Editor

By Mike Ehrlich Senior writer

It didn’t matter that CarsonNewman dialed up the pressure with a full-court press. Cetera DeGraffenreid was simply too fast. DeGraffenreid received the inbound pass and raced down court, beating the press off the dribble. Once the defense collapsed inward to stop her, she kicked it out for a wideopen Heather Claytor 3-pointer. And from there, it was all North Carolina. That three began a 23-5 UNC run early in the first half that made the score 28-11. And though the game wasn’t pretty, UNC didn’t look back en route to a 114-64 win in its first exhiWOMEN’S bition. BASKETBALL “That’s what CNC 64 I love doing,” UNC 114 DeGraffenreid said of pushing the tempo. “That’s what everybody came here for. … “You have a lot of people who can go and push the ball up and down the floor.” As would be expected from a school that UNC coach Sylvia Hat c h e l l att e n d e d , C a r s o n Newman came out with one clear goal: speed. The Eagles came out energized and flying around on defense. But UNC was too big, too strong and too talented. DeGraffenreid finished with 11 points, six assists and six steals. Italee Lucas, who looked more comfortable at the two-guard spot, led UNC with 16 points, and the Tar Heels out-rebounded the smaller Eagles by a 68-37 margin. The exhibition was largely experimental for Hatchell and the Tar Heels. It was one filled with substitutions, unconventional lineups and new combinations. The starting lineup even featured freshman Laura Broomfield. “I was moving people in and out of there like crazy because I told them, ‘If you mess up, you’re coming out,’” Hatchell said. “Every time they weren’t in the right place or didn’t trap when they were supposed to, I took them out.” All of the subbing provided a first look at Broomfield and fellow freshmen She’la White and Chay Shegog. Shegog, four inches taller than any Carson-Newman player, finished with nine points and three

Cetera DeGraffenreid shined in her season debut, finishing with 11 points. She was helped by several players off the Tar Heel bench.

blocks in 18 minutes. White showed off her range with 10 points and just two turnovers at the point. “They all played really well,” senior Iman McFarland said of the freshmen. “They were never timid or scared. We were trying to get them hyped for their first game.” Mandy Mendenhall dropped 16 points for the Eagles, but CarsonNewman never looked comfortable against the constant UNC pressure. The Tar Heels ripped 25 steals and forced 40 Eagle turnovers — many of them converted into fast-break points just seconds later. UNC hit the 100-point mark with more than six minutes to play in a game that was never in doubt. The Tar Heels wound up with 140 possessions and they shot the ball 96 times — just four short of a school record. But after a sloppy, turnoverfilled game, the Tar Heels will have plenty to work on before their next contest on Friday. “Early, before Christmas, we may take a couple knocks, we may take a couple licks here because we have some tough games,” Hatchell said. “But this team is going to get a whole lot better. January, February, this team is going to be a whole lot better than they are now.”

The North Carolina women’s basketball team was never in any danger of dropping its opening exhibition game against Carson-Newman. But one look at the turnover column of the box score provides more than enough evidence that Tuesday’s was UNC’s first game in nearly six months. The Tar Heels, who forced the Eagles into 40 turnovers by utilizing several aggressive defensive sets, gave the ball up 30 times themselves, including 16 first-half miscues. But coach Sylvia Hatchell didn’t seem too worried about it. “We had way too many turnovers,” she said. “But we’ll cut that down.” Last season, Hatchell’s squad averaged 19 giveaways per game, a number that might seem high before taking into account the uncommonly high number of possessions the Tar Heels had. Hatchell said there were 140 possessions for UNC in Tuesday’s game. “It was tiring,” point guard Cetera DeGraffenreid said. “(Hatchell) said she wanted to go faster, and I feel like it was a lot faster.” With a frantic pace — the Tar Heels had racked up nearly 40 points just 10 minutes into the game — and Carson-Newman employing a swarming full-court press for much of the game, North Carolina often saw the Eagles scoring uncontested baskets. When the pace did settle down to what almost resembled a halfcourt offense, Carson-Newman regularly harassed UNC posts with two and three defenders. To make sure of that, Carson-

Newman coach Dean Walsh instructed his players to “Collapse! Collapse!” if a UNC big ever had a one-on-one matchup in the post. And who can blame him? The Tar Heels boast a roster with six players at least 6 feet, 1 inch, with freshman Chay Shegog standing 6 feet, 5 inches. Carson-Newman’s Lindsey Eggleston at 6 feet, 1 inch, is the only Eagle that stands taller than 72 inches. “Because they were saturating like three defenders down there, I was telling them to reverse the ball and then go in,” Hatchell said. “But we were throwing it in there, and they were collapsing.” Encouraging for the Tar Heels is the fact that their point guards, DeGraffenreid and She’la White, accounted for only five turnovers, while combining for eight assists. In her first game as a Tar Heel, White committed just two turnovers in 20 minutes of action. Never was the UNC dominance at point more evident than at the 6:32 mark of the second half, when DeGraffenreid maneuvered through the entire Eagles full-court press before dishing a no-look pass to a wide-open Trinity Bursey for an easy two. But Hatchell noted that even with DeGraffenreid out of the game, she has full confidence in White’s ability to maintain possession for UNC. “We can now take (DeGraffenreid) out, let her rest, and we won’t lose a beat,” Hatchell said. “We can keep on moving, so I like that.” Contact the Sports Editor at sports@unc.edu.

Casey Nogueira is the ACC Offensive Player of the Year. “I wouldn’t call myself a leader,” she said. “I lead more by example than by talking.” for nearly two decades, so she was already a well-developed player when she joined Hernandez’s team as a sophomore. “Her passion for soccer carried over to other kids, so a lot of them enjoyed spending time outside of practice with the soccer ball, working on their own,” Hernandez said. “She was as creative of a player as we ever had here at Broughton.” Nogueira said her former coach’s biggest influence was allowing her to have fun on the field. The softspoken, 5-foot-6-inch player had just moved from California, and so soccer was a steady element in her life she could hang on to. Betsy Frederick, one of her teammates at Broughton and also a UNC soccer player, remembers her “quiet confidence” in those days. “She was like a leader in that respect,” Frederick said. “She was confident in herself, confident that she was going to score, confident that we were going to win. “And that always helped. Sometimes you don’t always need someone yelling and screaming to be a leader.” That hasn’t changed — even as a junior striker on a team loaded with freshmen, Nogueira isn’t the type of teammate to marshal troops into battle. What No. 54 has done is help completely turn around the offense.

The No. 2 Tar Heels are scoring 3.47 goals per game and are third in the country a year after the lowestscoring season in UNC’s history. She’s done it with improved fitness, better decision-making and practice, Heath says. “She’s a total team player, and in a bunch of games she’s put the whole team on her shoulders and scored some really key goals to allow us to win games,” Heath said. “Even if she only gets a couple chances a game, she’s able to put those away for us, because she has great focus in finishing now compared to last year. She’s been really working on that.” A n d j u s t a s i m p o r t a n t l y, Dorrance is finally satisfied with her all-around game. Her play without the ball — especially her defense — has helped her turn into that world-class player he was talking about a year ago. “It’s not just her attack. She works her rear end off for her teammates,” Dorrance said. “We had a film clip of her Virginia Tech game, she’s doubling back, winning balls, she’s trying to get her teammates set up.” And finally, no one has to talk about her potential.

Tar Heels win despite quick play, turnovers By Daniel Price

The bottom line is, there’s only one way to describe Casey Nogueira. “Goal scorer,” said midfielder Tobin Heath. “I mean, look at her numbers this year. It’s incredible.” The junior from Raleigh is having her best season so far. Her shooting percentage of .196 is the highest of her career, and her 19 goals this season are tied for second nationwide. Nogueira’s nineteen goals are more than UNC has given up all year, and they have come on a team that has seen 14 different players score during the season. Nogueira came in as a state champion from Needham Broughton High School and a highly-touted offensive recruit. She had all the potential of the past soccer superstars for which North Carolina is famous. But for her first two years, that was all anyone talked about — potential. Take what coach Anson Dorrance said about her after a game against Ohio State in September 2007: “When Casey Nogueira learns to play with passion and to play the game — that is, sprint and defend — she goes from being a good college player to being a world-class player.” The forward had a hat trick in that game, but Dorrance was talking about what she could become, not where she was. Her next game? One shot (high), in 53 minutes. The truth was, it hadn’t been an easy transition for Nogueira. “Coming here, it was kind of like a slap in the face at first, because I had grown up just being that forward that stands up top, gets the ball and doesn’t have to defend,” she said. “Here, it’s totally different because the forwards have to sprint all the time on defense and offense. “That was a hard adjustment for me.” In high school, Nogueira played on a team full of talented players that played a wide-open style. B r o u g h t o n’s c o a c h , I z z y Hernandez, remembers her as one of the strongest he’s ever had on his teams. Nogueira had been taught the game at an early age by her father, a professional soccer goalkeeper
