Greg Dority says Republicans shouldn't double-down on Charlotte.
In an e-mail to reporters, the candidate for the Republican nomination for lieutenant governor argued that the party shouldn't put Charlotte pols Pat McCrory and Robert Pittenger on the ballot together:
It would be a disaster for the GOP to field a ticket with both the Governor and Lt Governor candidates from Charlotte. This would be a certain recipe for defeat in November as independents and conservative Democrats down East and in the West would have little incentive to support the GOP Charlotte team versus a Democratic ticket from North Carolina.
Dority, who lives in Beaufort County, is running against Pittenger.

Re: Dority: Avoid All-Charlotte ticket
With the way Charlotte - WNC has been dissed thru the years by NC democrats, MORE POWER TO THEM if they ARE on the same ticket! Its TIME that the western half of the state be compensated accordingly to the east, where the power monger democrat whoredogs have operated our once great state into a cesspool of CORRUPTION!
Robert Orr for Governor and Robert Pittenger, Lt Gov. would be the best choices for NC.
