Former state Rep. David Miner is also raising money for Richard Moore.

The Wake County Republican has known the Democratic gubernatorial candidate since the two were freshman legislators in 1992. Back then, Miner was the youngest Republican in the House and Moore the youngest Democrat.

"With all due respect, I think he's the best candidate for governor in either party," he told Dome.

Miner has a long history as a Republican fundraiser, having gathered donations for the presidential campaigns of Jack Kemp in 1998, Bob Dole in 1996 and George W. Bush in 2000. He'll be at a fundraiser for Rudy Giuliani tonight.

Still, he said the personal connection matters.

"He asked me to help two and a half years ago," he said. "That's always important in politics—somebody who takes the time to call and ask for your support."
