Poor Rob, gets it from both directions. Guess he must be doing a better job than I thought.

Spotted at Rudy's lunch

About 450 people are at the Sheraton luncheon, according to organizers. No word on the reason for Rudy's plane delay, but Wake County is under a thunderstorm watch until 7 p.m.

Among the crowd:

* Former N.C. attorney general, secretary of state and Democratic nominee for governor Rufus Edmisten. Don't get any ideas that he's switched parties, though. Despite the heavily Republican flavor of the event today, there are a few Dems here.

* Former Republican gubernatorial nominee Patrick Ballantine has been seen making the rounds. It's his first debut since his loss to Gov. Mike Easley in 2004. Ballantine says he's considering a run for lieutenant governor.

* Former lieutenant governor, U.S. representative and 1992 Republican gubernatorial nominee Jim Gardner is in the audience. It's a rare public appearance for Gardner, who hasn't been seen in a while.
