According to former Supreme Court Justice Robert Orr, Perdue legally became Governor on January 1, 2009, thereby negating ALL of the 'last minute' activities of the former gov sleazely!!! How 'bout that???

Here we go again!!!! more corruption without interuption. Taxpayers get your pocket books out and shut your mouth. Raleigh politics, you get what you ask for sometimes and the voters spoke loud and clear on nov 4th. They had a chance for change in raleigh, but where so narrow minded the thought they couldn't vote anything except a straight democrat ticket. So, now she isn't even sworn in yet, but the same old corrupt people start to ooze to the top. No suprise here, thats what happens when andy griffth elects your governor. The voters don't check out the canidates. They vote democrat because andy said to, or obama said to, or their grandfather did, maybe they voted for bev because they hate george bush. WOW North Carolina voters really made a point this election cycle. But, the bottom line is we the people of north carolina will a pay the price for this point. Not just the folks that voted for these crooks, but everone in the state.

Here we go again.Seems like Pat McCrory's ad about status quo Bev. was right on the mark!With problems in so many state agencies,why would she want to keep the same cast of characters?Health and Human Services has huge problems(poorly trained staff,etc.),and of course DOT(remember the survey that they tried to cover up the results from the media-the people at the top didn't like the findings(poor oversight of costs,poor inspection procedures-meaning contractors getting by with less than top quality work.)Come on Gov. elect,clean house and start over!!!

I'm no Nascar fan, but I'm wondering if you've got a detail right. Childress owns several teams (Dale Earnhardt was one of his drivers), but I didn't realize he ever drove. You may be right in referring to him as a driver, but it looked strange to me at first glance.
