Re: Governors: Fundraising

Are North Carolinians once again going to demonstrate their stupidity by supporting democrackkks for EVERYTHING in this once great state???

These two clowns are nothing BUT kowtows from the likes of the VILE Jim Hunt, and Sleazely, with all the other turds thrown in there too...

How DID democrackkks EVER get to be SOooo CORRUPT in NC???

Re: Governors: Fundraising

Pat McCrory is the only candidate with traction against the 2 democrats who have been running for the last 8 years and have accomplished nothing but embarrassment for this state. How much of their money is legal and how much from the Parton theatre scandal?

Re: Fundraising: Governor

I feel the exact same way, i think that Nielsen and Smith are by far the two best candidates and i plan to support Nielsen in the primary

2nd Half Numbers

Perdue $2 million
Moore $1.77 million

Moore has a slight edge in cash on hand, but no one has a monetary advantage so far.

Re: Fundraising: Governor

Maybe it's just the populist in me and notwithstanding my Republican registration I find myself liking Dennis Nielsen. I would love to see him go up against Fred Smith and allow North Carolina to actually have some good choices for governor unlike last time in 2004.
