Re: Burr goes whole hog on Eastern cue

At least Burr is spurring the NC economy with his fundraiser - instead of traveling a long ways both philosophically and geographically like Senator Hagan's maiden voyage to Boston for the Godless American PAC.

Did anyone else with half a brain grasp the fact that in order downplay this fundraiser Hagan defended her Christianity - merely disregarding Atheism and its followers - yet the Atheists raised the most stink only to be throw to out...by their dear Senator Hagan.

also what do you mean by five diamond Greenbrier Resort, last I heard they lost their five star rating. Still a great place though, the hot chocolate they serve in the winter months is fabulous.

Maybe they can have their BBQ next door to a huge industrial factory farm. Bring the clothespin for your nose.

Are you sure they are not hosting a "cow Chip" toss??

RTB - They won't be news then, I can go inform myself at that point. Have you gotten nothing from the campaigns?

Throw us political junkies a bone.

It would seem they have everything to lose by telling you an incorrect number. You posted earlier numbers sans SBOE online report.

I'll post them when they go up on the SBOE Web site.

Imagine Pittenger, Dalton and Dellinger have raised a fair amount.

I am sure that South Carolinians can legitimately claim many positive elements about their culture and lifestyle - but good BBQ isn't one of them. Mustard based BBQ is nasty.

I've been to Maurice's in Columbia, didn't like it. One thing I can say for South Carolina though is that they got a handle on the hog factory farms while North Carolina let the hog industry inundate eastern NC.

As I look at things on the eve of the New Hampshire primary, I couldn't be more proud of John Edwards. He has handled himself flawlessly in this campaign. Who knows what will happen tomorrow or later in South Carolina. But whatever happens, John Edwards has emerged as the new voice of conscience in America. What an awesome quality to have in a leader.

Wish Joby Warrick were still around so he could accompany Smith on the barbecue tour east of I-95. People do love barbecue but the factory farms still stink.

additionally,

I sure hope a constituiional amendment carries the same weight as a constitutional one or a lot of people are going to be looking rather ridiculous.

Is the tour a sign that North Carolinians like Fred Smith or because they (and Mr. Smith) like pulled or chopped pig?

It is good to see candidates reaching out to all parts of the state, though it seems Fred is reluctant to go east of I-95 yet. Maybe he prefers western/Lexington 'cue?

Your Dome blogger was in a hurry this morning. The post has been fixed.

In penance, we will put in a request for our own 100-county tour so that this problem won't arise in the future.

Not sure if we'll be able to get it past accounting, though...
