Note that the MS-13 crackdown was initiated in North Carolina.

They located here because of NC's lax license laws. Ryan, you should see how many of the indicted have had an NC license at one point.

Is it true that Burr is the youngest person ever to win a House race?

Moore should run...

Senate — Tue, 11 Dec 2007 14:53:20 -0500

Moore is qualified and should run. He represents the moderate Eastern NC Democrats.

Let's not forget Tony Moore also ran for State House as a Republican against Marian McLawhorn in 2006, in a particulary nasty fashion. Moore unrightfully attacked McLawhorn and other Democrats, only to lose and return to the Party. I think Moore should serve out his term as Winterville Alderman, and endorse Davis or Taft

Well Let's look at the current run-down... It is already a crowded, and likely expensive race...

Confirmed Democrats

Ed Wilson, Former Wayne Comm. College President
Kathy Taft, State School Board Member
Don Davis, Snow Hill Mayor

Potentials:

Tony Moore, Winterville Alderman, Former NC Senator
Marvin Blount III, Greenville Attorney

Wilson is definitely going to have to answer the Community College/Illegal Alien question.

Moore should run. He did a good job the first time. Should have stayed Democrat. He is a good representative for moderate Dems and there are a lot in that district.

I think Moore would also be a formidable challenger. I'm not sure if he had won the Aldreman seat in Winterville though

I am also entertaining the possibility of returning to the Senate seat.

Former Senator Tony Moore District 5

How many illegal immigrants did he let into Wayne CC whilst he was el presidente?

I think Taft is another good pick for the Democrats. For one, she is already an elected official, who has championed school issues for a long time. But also, she is part of (sort of) the Taft clan, which carries a lot of pull in Pitt County politics and legal circles. If Blount gets in this race too, look for this to be one expensive primary. The Don Davis factor could be interesting too, because he represents the more rural Greene county voting block, and if Taft/Blount split Greenville, then Davis could pick up Greene and Wayne...
