Crowd pumped at Perdue event
Submitted by ryanteaguebeckwith on 2008-05-06 22:25
While some campaign staffers were already calling the election for Beverly Perdue, Zach Ambrose came on the microphone to announce the Associated Press call for Perdue's victory.
In anticipation of Perdue's victory speech, the music was turned to "Celebrate" and then "Beautiful Day" by U2. Cheering, dancing and cocktails followed.
Cindy Estill, of Raleigh, said the win was "fabulous."
"I love that she's a woman, a strong woman and says what she thinks," she said. "She says a lot about where we need to go."
Brenda Tipton, of Pine Top, said she is excited about Perdue's victory.
"I think she's a go-getter," she said.
Gail Perry, of Raleigh, said she thinks Republican contender Pat McCrory has little chance of defeating Perdue in November.
"She's developed a strong political network across the state," said Perry, a member of the board of Lillian's List. "Her support is broad. It's deep. And she's got Andy Griffith."
