Jack Betts was bullish on Garrett Perdue in 2007.
In an Oct. 7 piece, the Charlotte Observer columnist said the son of Gov. Beverly Perdue did well when introducing her at the formal kickoff of her campaign.
"The younger Perdue has presence, poise, timing and wit that Bev Perdue ought to put to good use on the campaign trail between now and next spring, when she hopes to become the Democratic Party's nominee in the May 6 primary election," he wrote.
He wrote that Garrett Perdue was "a first-rate speaker" who "might just have a glowing political future."
Previously: Perdue hired as federal lobbyist, spotted at legislature and state political event, members of Congress haven't heard from him.
