Hey DOME...WHEN will you be publishing the LIST of NC Legislators who purposely boycotted the Jesse Helms Honorarium last day or two?

Not that this has anything to do with anything, but I bet you could look up the photos of our legislators and guess.

Jerk.

That said, Cunningham has a good biography and seems to be exciting the netroots.

Understatement of the year.

And I'm convinced the husband of a Lillian's List Board Member with his personal story can raise more money than my Grandmother.

No offense Granny Marshall.

Seriously, can he raise the kind of money he needs to run a competitive race?

Yes. His wife is on the board of Lillian's List.

He runs, Burr makes this about choice (or lack of), Cal wins.

End of story.

Cal needs to leave the Lexington style barbeque at home once he hits the Coastal Plain so he doesn't offend anyone. He will need to develop a taste for vinegar based chopped barbeque as well. Seriously, can he raise the kind of money he needs to run a competitive race? Whoever runs against Burr should have a good chance. I can't name a thing Burr has accomplished over the last four years. Can anyone? The tobacco thing doesn't have legs. After all the GA just banned smoking in bars and dinners with hardly a sound of protest. There aren't many voters in NC anymore that are directly effected by the tobacco industry.

My front porch kitty is even considering it. The back porch kitty is a Burr supporter.

Cal needs to make it official, get on the train and start selling that Lexington BBQ statewide.

The press has left the station.
