text: New blues for North Carolina's Republicans In insecure times, a state once firmly behind the GOP now wobbles By Kevin Merida updated 4:10 a.m. CT, Wed., Oct. 22, 2008 CHARLOTTE - The Queen City Motel sits barely noticed on this city's West Side, just seven minutes from the wobbly banks and new construction projects commanding the downtown skyline. At the Queen City, you find people who are living by day and by week, watching economic calamity from the outer edge of misery. Some have no cars, no cellphones, no steady work, no health plan and not enough food to fill a small fridge in a $160-a-week room. But in this political season of surprise and possibility, the presidential campaign has found an audience here even among the disheartened. Warren Kent Vaughn and Brenda Williams were living in an empty 18-wheeler semitrailer not long ago, in love but homeless, their drug histories a drag on their dreams. Then they found salvation in Room 77 of the Queen City, Vaughn working as a live-in handyman, Williams as a maid. They worked seven days a week for chump change, plus room and board. "It's been a struggle, but I ain't gave up, bro," said Vaughn, who was honorably discharged from the Army, got sucked into the dope racket, killed a man in a street scrap, served 14 years in prison, and on this recent day was tugging on his scraggly beard, work gloves in his back pocket. He was about to measure a window that needed repair, and then put in a smoke alarm, and then whatever. The Queen City is a low-slung, pale brick structure of 47 rooms and little charm. Renovations are underway, management says. The parking lot is nearly empty, and some residents keep their doors open so they won't miss the conversations that may come their way. The gale forces of the economy are blowing people in different directions, driving them to their presidential choices with an intensity that this state has not seen in some time. Many North Carolinians are either running toward a candidate or running away from one, the candidates now surrogates for folks' fears and aspirations. Even with his consuming worries, Vaughn found himself drawn to Barack Obama's quest as a symbol of the change Vaughn envisioned for his own life. He even volunteered to register the ex-hustlers on the streets he once ran. And when they shooed him away, he kept insisting. "There are no limitations," he'd tell them. "Stop saying, 'I can't.' Just try, instead of saying, 'I can't.' " After all, Vaughn had found a job and shelter that wasn't under a bridge. His prospects were on the upswing -- just like Obama's in North Carolina, he figured. Now, the one thing missing, what Vaughn craved most, was a change in how others saw him. "I want people to stop looking down at me," he said, "and look up." In the midst of a transformation North Carolina is in the midst of a transformation its people are grappling to comprehend. The state long has been a fat red dot on the electoral map, voting Republican in every presidential election since 1976. Some believe it may be turning blue before their eyes; polls over the past month consistently have shown Obama and John McCain in a dead heat. Since January, approximately 550,000 voters have been added to the rolls, a third of them African American, and Democrats have won the registration battle by more than a 5 to 1 margin over Republicans. Pockets of political enthusiasm keep surfacing in the most unlikely places -- even at a motel for itinerants on Wilkinson Boulevard. "If this were 2012, I'd be willing to say this is no longer a red state," said Ferrel Guillory, a longtime observer of the state's politics and director of the Program on Public Life at the University of North Carolina. "I don't know if North Carolina is as far along as Virginia is, but the Obama campaign may be accelerating that. We'll see." Early voting began last Thursday in the state, and as of Tuesday, 543,004 had already voted -- 306,493 Democrats and 147,276 Republicans. The Obama campaign, with the greatest resources, has opened 45 offices in the state, compared with McCain's 35. This past weekend, Obama made his sixth appearance in North Carolina since winning the nomination in late August, compared with three visits for McCain since May 6. Still, the state's political structure is notably bifurcated: conservative and progressive simultaneously, power concentrated in both parties. Democrats have controlled the governor's mansion for four consecutive terms, so now it is the GOP gubernatorial candidate, Charlotte Mayor Pat McCrory, who is running on the change theme. Republicans occupy both U.S. Senate seats, but Elizabeth Dole is in danger of losing hers in November. Her enemy: change. In the presidential race, the traditional divides -- blue and red, black and white, rich and poor -- live alongside struggles over faith and doubt. It is the faith that Warren Kent Vaughn has in an Obama-led future vs. the doubt that brought Pam Demarest to an outlying county Republican office in heavy rain to pick up a McCain-Palin yard sign. It was something she had never done before, done now because she was tired of passing so many Obama yard signs. It was visceral. Demarest works full time as a nurse and teaches part time at a community college, while putting a son through college. "We're barely keeping afloat," she said. Her husband lost his job as a printer two years ago and was out of work for five months, and that "put us behind and we've never been able to keep up," she said. Her eyes filled with tears. "He says he's archaic." A husband who believes his worth has been drained from the marketplace? How does a wife deal with that? It was not that Obama was to blame. But her feelings were raw, and she didn't know quite where to take them. "I don't like Obama," she said. "When you look at him, when you see him speaking, some of the looks he gives are condescending. He doesn't come off as somebody I would trust. He just doesn't. Sometimes you can't give a reason for that." CONT'D

Pakistan's Red Mosque Showdown: Jihadists Using Girls as Human Shields?
Security forces are laying siege to the Red Mosque in Islamabad, Pakistan, where at least 800 radical students are holed up -- most of them women and girls. There are now concerns that some of the children are being kept there as human shields.
Pakistani female religious students after they surrendered to authorities outside the Red Mosque in Islamabad.
However, Colonel Masha Allah of the paramilitary forces at the scene said that some of the children who had already left had said they had been locked in a room.
A 12-year-old girl, who left the mosque on Thursday, said there were between 35 and 40 students of her age still inside. And a young woman who also left Thursday told Reuters she had seen four bodies in the mosque, two of which were girls.
The siege began after running battles between the students and security forces on Tuesday, during which at least 16 people were killed. The battles are taking place in the center of Pakistan's administrative capital, a stone's throw from the government district and presidential palace.
On Thursday the security forces set off a series of eight explosions outside the Red Mosque before dawn in an attempt to persuade those still holed up there to surrender. Security forces said they had also fired a series of "warning blasts," at the mosque and broken open a door to the building. The students were then asked by loudspeaker to leave.
'We Are Not Terrorists'
The initial response was around 20 minutes of gunfire but by mid morning around 60 students had left the complex, which includes the mosque and an adjoining girls madrasa, or religious school.
Abdul Aziz said that 14 men in the mosque had Kalashnikovs, but he asked those still there to give up peacefully. He said "if they can get out quietly they should go, or they can surrender if they want to." Aziz was arrested Wednesday trying to flee the mosque in a woman's burqa. He was spotted by a female police officer because of his height and large stomach.
Aziz, who was still dressed in the burqa he had used as a disguise during his interview, denied that his movement had links with al-Qaida, though he said his mosque had a "relationship of love and affection with all jihadist organizations."
His brother, the mosque's deputy head cleric, Abdul Rashid Gazi, is still inside the building. Speaking to Reuters by telephone on Thursday he said "We are not criminals. We are not terrorists that we should surrender. ... We have said that we are ready for dialogue."
'They Only Want Martyrdom'
The Red Mosque has been in conflict with the Pakistani government for months. Its leaders want to establish an Islamic theocracy similar to the ousted Taliban regime in Afghanistan. President Pervez Musharraf, who is regarded as a close ally of the United States in the war on terror, is currently facing both a growing militant movement, primarily near the Afghan border, and a pro-democracy movement enraged at his attempt to fire the country's chief justice in March. Liberal politicians have pressed the president to crack down on the two brothers in charge of the mosque. Meanwhile, there are concerns abroad about a growing Taliban-like movement in Pakistan, a country with nuclear weapons.
A security official told Reuters that a small hardcore in the mosque were unlikely to surrender. According to one student who had decided to leave the mosque, 15-year-old Maryam Qayyem, those who stayed inside "only want martyrdom."
"They are happy," she told the Associated Press Wednesday. "They dont want to go home."
