Re: Obama's informal adviser in Raleigh

Every so often you get a glimpse of the machinations behind the curtain and this is one of those pieces of investigative reporting.

This is all you need to know about Mr. Eudy: "We help corporations advance regulatory interests" ; "Eudy was the best man at the wedding of Bob Greczyn"; "CAPSTRAT'S LARGEST CORPORATE CLIENTS: Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina." and, "Ken Eudy is one of Barack Obama's key supporters in North Carolina."

Couple that to this week's WaPo article outlining how BCBSNC is using the ill gotten gains from not paying for patient care (as a BCBSNC Advanta insured member, in a 3 member healthy family, I cannot get reimbursed screening colonoscopies or mammograms; and there is no mental health parity tho a law was passed last year: BCBSNC was allowed by state legislature to OPT OUT) and this is what you got: 'North Carolina's Blue Cross Blue Shield Trying to Kill Key Plank of Obama Plan.' :"the company has hired an outside PR company to make a series of videos sounding the alarm about a government-sponsored health insurance option, known as the public plan"

YO: MR OBAMA: THAT BA-BA BLEATING IS A SHEEP DRESSED IN WOLF'S CLOTHING.

Raleigh is NOT in Kissell's district. Cant believe that Sinsheimer would have Jim Hunt in his house! Kinda makes him a big hypocrite, doesnt it?

Hmmmm...I went and looked. He has old loans to his Senate Campaign too. It looks like they were foregiven. That would make it seem pretty likely that he's not looking to pay the loan back.

Pittenger's outstanding loan is from... his wife. Don't think the pressure to pay that one back is too high on the list right now.

Pittenger's in trouble

Pittenger has an outstanding loan of $500,000 so he's actually $185,000 in the hole.

He has also failed to file electronically for two recent quarters.

Dalton's in trouble

Senate — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 17:42:14 -0400

Pittenger has $315,000 on hand and Dalton has $175,000. That spell big trouble for Dalton. If Pittenger out rasises him then goes into his deep pockets for supplemental funding, Dalton may just get overwhelmed with money.
