Pittenger is all show and no substance. He funds his own "Think Tank" which always spits out "findings and polls" that just happens to agree with him and the Charlotte Observer laps it up because it fills their pages at very little, if not completely free of cost. He is a puppet of the Chamber of Commerce.

State Sen. Robert Pittenger may run for lieutenant governor.

The Charlotte Republican told the Charlotte Observer he may make a decision soon about whether to run next year.

"We're just trying to figure out which platform would help us advance our reform efforts — serving in the Senate or running for lieutenant governor," he said.

Although the lieutenant governor runs the Senate and sits on several committees, the position has few responsibilities. It is often seen as a route to a gubernatorial run.

Earlier this year, Pittenger ran issue ads on television and hosted events in Charlotte, indicating he might run for a higher office.
