Why don't the democrats just elect Andy Griffth governor?????? They could you know!!!! They can do anything, just look at how these 16yrs going on 20 yrs of democrat governors has done for state goverment. It makes the mafia look like the boy scouts.

Old Andy is a piece of work and a relic we in NC should treasure. His wife is talented but don't give up your day job. Was old Jim Hunt there? I am sure he was, speaking of relic. Gov Perdue is one of his creations as well as old Marc. Hey some one has to be Gov. Just as well stay in the Political family.

Gov Bev will be a wonder woman and be creative in her programs. I hope the money will be there to build more bridges in Newbern. Look out Marsh rats.

You gotta wonder if this little ditty is foreshadowing of an administration based on fiction. Seems like someone who writes her own powerful words - a real poet, if you will - maybe even someone who also calls NC home, maybe even a WOMAN - I dunno, say someone like Maya Angelou - could have been on the dias to deliver some REAL words of encouragement and hope. But it appears that for Governor Perdue trotting out old crumegeons - er the status quo - is the way to go.

What it was, was politics.

Dumpling, you better be careful around Andy. He's developed quite the dirty ol' man reputation since he left Mayberry and Matlock. But I guess you know all about "dirty old men" from hanging around Marc, Tony, Black, Beason and the Jones Street gang.
