Pat McCrory was unflappable at his campaign kickoff.

First, there was the weather: The lower 40s with a brisk chill blowing in.

Then, there was the freight train that began blowing just as he began his speech.

And strangest of all, there was the real estate agent who rushed up to McCrory just before the big moment to hand him a business card.

The man, who had also written "Asian for McCrory" on his campaign sign with a ballpoint pen, told Dome that he likes Republicans because they are for small government.

He also talked briefly with McCrory, who thanked him for coming and gracefully parted ways.
