Jim Broyhill, senator

Someone gave Jim Broyhill a demotion.

In Republican gubernatorial nominee Pat McCrory's latest campaign finance report, the Winston-Salem resident is listed as "James Broyhill, Senator."

So far, so good. Though he's a former Republican senator, we'll let that slide.

Then it lists his employer: "North Carolina General Assembly."

That part, not so good. Broyhill, you'll recall, was a Congressman and then U.S. Senator in the 1980s.

Next time, just list politicians' employers as "The American People."

Incidentally, he and his wife, Louise, gave $12,000 to McCrory.
