The N.C. Republican Party wants to know why a few top Democrats weren't at Barack Obama's rally today.
In a statement, party chairwoman Linda Daves noted that Democratic gubernatorial candidate Beverly Perdue, Senate candidate Kay Hagan and lieutenant governor candidate Walter Dalton were "nowhere to be found" today:
Could it be that on the day Barack Obama announces the beginning of the general election campaign that Democrats have begun to distance themselves from the Senate's most liberal member? These Democrats can't run from Obama any more than they can run from their records of the largest increases in taxes and spending in the history of our state during their time in Raleigh.
Hagan's campaign said she had previous commitments but would campaign with Obama in the future. The Perdue campaign did not return a telephone call.

Re: Daves: Top Dems no-shows for Obama
WHEN is Mr. Dalton going to challenge Mr. Pittenger to a series of publicly televised DEBATES?
Can you say 'scared' to issue that challenge?
Robert Pittenger is the MOST IMPORTANT candidate that NC needs to elect at this time!
