Beverly Perdue got a laugh at the N.C. School Boards Association debate today.
Just after she had given her opening statement, she was told by moderator Erica Taylor that she would have to adjust her microphone in order to be heard.
"Can you hear me now?" Perdue said, after a minute of futzing with the microphone. "That might be a good thing or a bad thing, we'll figure that out."
Then, she added, "Does that mean that I get to do my opening all over again?"
The audience laughed heartily, even though their response had been much more tepid when Bill Graham made the exact same joke in the Republican debate earlier.
"I'm getting a no from the powers-that-be," Taylor said, getting another laugh.
Perdue then asked that the laugh be counted for her side in the debate.
"That's a point for me for that," she said.
