My last time there it was full of elephants. No, not Jesse Helms and Bill Cobey and the NC GOP, but big stinking Barnum and Bailey elephants! Good luck with your JJ tonight. I will watch on CSPAN. In Hartford, our JJB (Bailey, former state and national chair and father of Kennelly) cost $175 and featured Joe Biden! Ugh! When it comes to Tuesday, I hope ya'll say Yes We Can!</p> Fri, 02 May 2008 19:52:49 -0400 lategreatnatefromstate88 comment 6141 at http://projects.newsobserver.com http://projects.newsobserver.com/under_the_dome/the_largest_jefferson_jackson_dinner <!-- Begin check for Blog Icon --> <!-- End check for Blog Icon --> <!-- Begin check for Teaser Toggle --> <div class="field-item"><p>This is likely the largest <a href="/under_the_dome/faq/what_is_the_jefferson_jackson_dinner">Jefferson-Jackson Dinner</a> in North Carolina.</p><p>State Chairman Jerry Meek told the crowd a few minutes ago that the party believes it is the largest of the annual fundraising dinners since it began in 1930. </p><p>A total of 5,000 people are in the audience, including 1,000 in the table seats on the floor of the Dorton Arena.
