ace...a NO vote from a tobacco state? What a surpise.

BTW, NC is also receiving $3.9 billion over the next 10 years as payment for Bush's 2004 program to end federal subsidies of tobacco.

Thats a nice chunk of change for NC tobacco growers to ease the pain of withdrawal from years of getting "welfare" from the feds for growing an addictive product.
