No story is complete without the impact on him.

I wonder if "conservative people" could at least craft a more consistent approach to tobacco regulation than the current regime.

If mr.troxler considers the spending an tax breaks to the top salary earners in this country an the deregulations that have been imposed under the past eight years of the former BUSH adminstration as being conservative then i have got a bridge to sell to him for if he truely thinks that was conservatism the he truely doesn't have the vague idea of what conservatism realy is . in my opinion it is when the politicians in this country take care of an spend the taxpayers intrusted funds in a responsibly way an not with no bid war contracts an all kind of other giveway contracts that contractor produce sub standard products an get paid for top of the line quality thank you from a democarts

Yea, that's right! Elect "conservative" people and there will not be any regulations on anything you eat, drink or breathe. Just goes to show that the Flat-Earth repoblicans want YOU TO DIE!!!

Bev's brackets appear to be from the 2008 tournament.

Hmmm... well that was the official explanation. Any other ideas?

I don't think "In order of the creation of their offices" is quite correct. The office of Insurance Commissioner is indeed the "youngest" office (est. 1899). The Labor Commissioner office was created in 1887. The Agriculture commissioner: 1877. Attorney General goes back to 1777, as does the office of Secretary of State and the Treasurer. But Superintendent of Public Instruction was only established in 1853. And Lieutenant Governor is also fairly recent, having been created in the 1868 constitution.

I think folks don't now how to pronounce Xinhua. Anyways, isn't it strange that you guys are using a Communist newspaper to call me a Republican propagandist?

Everyone knows Pravda. Your excuse is just that, an excuse.

One other thing: Isn't the Pravda reference a bit out of date?

You're reading too much into the post. When Sen. McCain visits North Carolina, I will be asking the same questions, and we reported in great detail on Bush's fundraising trip for McCrory.

Everyone take a deep breath. The election isn't until November, and the rhetorical umbrage-taking is getting a bit over the top.

To make it seem like Bev is avoiding Obama when she has A FREAKIN' TELEVISED DEBATE THAT NIGHT!!!!

If you were to write a new post "Perdue can't attend Obama event due to televised debate" THAT is legitimate.

You, are not.

Now, Hagan, she could probably skip her event. But, as you may not have noticed, she and Dole BOTH are neglecting to mention their party in ads/websites/etc.
