Pat McCrory is ready to rock.

As he wrapped up his kickoff speech in Jamestown, the Charlotte mayor told his campaign team that he was going to run a "grassroots positive campaign."

"We're going to be like a garage band," he said. "We're not hiring any high-priced consultants to tell us what to say and how to say it. We're going to speak from the heart."

McCrory later explained that he plans on using a lot of young people and being "very flexible" on how the campaign is managed.

Dome asked if McCrory had any bands in mind, and he cited the Beatles, whose members often switched roles when recording.

"I told my campaign team one minute they might be on bass guitar and the next minute they might go to drums," he said. "We're going to have a very flexible team."
