Poll shows no easy re-election for Dole
The Charlotte Observer is reporting that Senator Elizabeth Dole is facing a difficult re-election in 2008.
We feel pretty skeptical about this considering the strong republican segment in NC and the fact that few people know much about democratic hopefuls, Kay Hagan, Jim Neal, and John Hendrix.
2002 election result for Gaston County:
| Gaston | Bowles | 34.9% | 14,976 | |
| Dole | 63.4% | 27,176 | ||
| 0.0% | 0 | |||
| Other | 1.6% | 704 |
There are other political parties active in North Carolina that would hope to field candidates, however, NC laws prevent ballot access. This has been a continual discussion on the Belmont Front Porch, usually when the weather is warmer and we can sit outside longer in the evenings.
Beer, wine maker has new home in Belmont textile mill
We love it !
Of all the uses for former textile facilities, warehousing being one, enterprises such as an internet sales of beer and wine making don’t usually top the economic development list.
Alternative Beveridge has been around awhile and recently moved operations to Belmont, and the Gazette highlighted the operation in East Belmont in a recent article.

In our humblest opinion, the entrepreneurs of the world are at the top of the list. Several of our blogsite readers and commentors own these types of businesses and are quite successful. Some grow to become giant organizations, others provide a comfortable living for the owners and employees within a community. So, kudos to ya’ll who have those types of visions and determination to make a business grow and thrive over time.
What we like about Alternative Beveridge is the simple way of teaching and servicing their customers.
