Democratic State Sen. Eric Mansfield launched a TV ad to boost his bid for lieutenant governor a week ahead of the May 8 primary. The kicker: "Help me change North Carolina."
A new Public Policy Polling survey shows Mansfield trailing his rival Linda Coleman with 43 percent of Democrats undecided. Coleman's support sits at 39 percent to Mansfield's 18 percent.

April 30, 2012 - 2:36pm — MissVAffable, scholarly, professional young PHYSICIAN and state senator, who wants to change the game. Shame that he's being ignored like former US Senate candidate ATTORNEY Ken Lewis, who lost to Kay Hagan.
Democratic Party insiders don't like folks who think for themselves.
