Be glad Perdue wasnt there to leech the Obama drama...

Invisible......I don't think so.

Be reasonable!

There's a gas shortage out there in the western expanses of our state. It's been all over the news. Why would Bev head out to Greensboro from Raleigh or New Bern without knowing if she could buy gas to get back home?

No telling when she could get back home. And being in Greensboro on a Saturday night........well.....

Perdue is Invisible! Glimpse of Future?

If I ran for Governor in NC and my party's Presidential candidate was attracting 20,000 mostly democratic & independent voters, I would leverage the heck out of it, even if it meant rescheduling another event. Beverly, how many did you attract at your event(s) today?

Several thoughts come to mind about Beverly:
- She is politically stupid as she won't be seen at either party Presidential events or statewide debates
- She is scared to be joined at the hip with Obama - show me a picture of the two of them together before I will believe otherwise
- She must have been busy covering her tracks regarding her dirty fundraising leaders as well as her problems with the Ethics Commission.

For those moderate Democrats and independents across North Carolina looking for visionary leadership, consider Mayor McCrory as he won't be invisible or corrupt after he gets elected Governor!

Dan Besse, candidate for Lt. Gov., live-blogged with BlueNC waaay back in Dec 2007. I believe I'm correct in saying he was the first lieutenant governor candidate to do so (and still actively posts and comments on BlueNC!).

The Judge doesn't usually step down from the bench for photo ops with either witnesses or defendants. Foxx's behavior and belittling of the proceedings explains why there are still meth labs in Watauga County and why the war on drugs is really a hypocritical war on minorities.

I agree with the reasoning behind this candidate's remark. I, too, believe that illegal drug use of any kind has absolutely no place in sports. However, it is important to remember that there has been no proof of drug use, illegal or otherwise, in this case. There have been serious allegations by an admitted drug pusher who was trying to come up with something (anything?) to keep himself out of jail. Unlike Candidate Carter, I will defend Mr. Clemens, who is, under our constitution, innocent until proven guilty. I think it is wrong to disparage another person's character simply in the pursuit of a political office. I guess that puts me in the minority these days. To possibly open another thread of communication, does anyone have any idea at all why the Congressional "hearing" took on the overtones of a political debate, splitting down party lines, with more accusations than thoughtful questions?
