Excellent! Glad he has money to use!

The 11th Congressional District challenger, Carl Mumpower has challenged democrat incumbent football player Heath Shuler to public debate in EVERY county of the 11th district...but GUESS WHO doesnt want to DO that?

NC democrats surely are adept at avoiding public debate in this election...

We DEMAND they accept DEBATE challenges at every oppportunity!

McHenry loans campaign $175k

U.S. Rep. Patrick McHenry has loaned his own campaign $175,000.

Brock McCleary, a spokesman for the Cherryville Republican, said the loans shows he is "willing to make a personal investment in his fight for good jobs and lower gas prices for North Carolina."

But a spokeswoman for Democratic opponent Daniel Johnson said it shows that the second-term Congressman doesn't think he's raised enough money.

"We think it demonstrates he's not getting the support he thinks he would need to stay competitive," said Lauren Moore.

McHenry raised $146,000 in the most recent reporting period, which gave him $411,000 in total.

Johnson, an attorney from Hickory, raised $125,000 in the same period, and had $219,000 in cash. (Char-O)
