Pat1: You need to be careful how you word your comments.

You are correct in that Pat McCrory did tell Dome that it WAS a mistake on their part and didn't lie. But there are more people included in his "camp".

His camp most definitely includes his campaign manager and she most certainly lied.

Looks like McCrory's troop leader needs to learn how to properly put out a fire.

Raligh613, your always on the attack. Are you supporting one of the self financed candidates that can't even raise money? There was no "lie" from the McCrory camp. The Mayor told dome himself that it was a simple "mistake." I don't really see the "lie" in that.

Need to know straight up now: Does McCrory support ending corporate incentives, AND ending the state INCOME TAX?

Well, you have to understand about dogs: they have good ears for picking up the latest news, whereas cats prefer to listen out for the latest mews.

A tip of the hat to political analyst Gary Pearce for keeping us apprised of all the candidates' Goobernatorial campaign strategies.

FYI...the difference was that Perdue's campaign admitted to the mistake. Pat's campaign lied about it repeatedly - and it wasn't even a believable lie! Sort of like, "the dog ate my press release."

Is this really the best "news" you can get? We have a Governor that has hid in the mansion for 8 years and refused to talk to the press and ya'll are talking about a spelling error. I did not see a print article on Perdue's spelling mistake like the McCrory article today. You people really need to get over this. It was a mistake.

Gary Pearce says Pat McCrory's campaign staff could sink his campaign.

In a tongue-in-cheek post on Talking About Politics, the Democratic campaign consultant says he fears McCrory's moderate Republican, pro-business record could win in November.

Though he hopes that conservative Republican candidates Fred Smith and Bill Graham could spend millions beating him in the primary, he thinks yesterday's e-mail flap shows McCrory can do enough damage himself.

Never has a campaign staffer done a better job of upstaging the candidate on announcement day. She managed to make your campaign look both incompetent and dishonest.

He also asks when McCrory's campaign manager finds the hackers who misspelled governor to let him know.

"It may be the same nefarious villain who puts the typos in my blogs," he writes.
