GOP candidates respond to McCrory


The three Republican candidates for governor say they're not troubled by Pat McCrory.

After the longtime Charlotte mayor boasted of internal polling results, the campaigns of state Sen. Fred Smith, Salisbury attorney Bill Graham and former Supreme Court Judge Bob Orr said they were not concerned, the Charlotte Observer reports. 

Smith adviser Marc Rotterman: "As far as we're concerned, the more the merrier."

Graham: "We believe the voters are looking for a change and a breath of fresh air, not another career politician. I represent that change."

Orr: "I think Pat needs to make a decision. If he's going to run, get in. If not, keep going to Paris for transportation meetings."
