Democratic Senate candidate Elaine Marshall attended a White House Christmas Party Tuesday night.
Marshall, who is secretary of state, was one hundreds of state officials from across the country invited, Rob Christensen reports. Other Democratic North Carolinians attending included state Rep. Verla Insko of Chapel Hill, state Rep. Pricey Harrison of Greensboro, Durham Mayor Bill Bell and state Treasurer Janet Cowell.
So that means on Tuesday, three North Carolina Senate candidates were having some sort of interaction with President Barack Obama.
Republican U.S. Sen. Richard Burr was appearing at a rally to protest the president's health care plan, Democratic candidate Cal Cunningham was taking a call from Obama in his hometown in Lexington, and Marshall was attending a White House party.

December 17, 2009 - 2:39pm — GiggleBoxFeeling punked aren't you Citizen Opinionated?
Maybe it's because you were.
And may God keep doing what he's doing. Electing Democrats, keeping terrorists on the run and making Citizen Opinionated feel stupid.

May God bless you and your family with prosperity and tidings of joy during this holiday season.

December 17, 2009 - 2:31pm — GiggleBoxWow. Okay. So you don't have an ex-girlfriend to stalk on FaceBook?
Of course you don't, you're a Republican. Good luck with that.

December 17, 2009 - 2:14pm — southernrockTis you, Gosh, I am speaking towards. To the paid Democratic staffer that spends her time on the North Carolina blogs trying to disrupt the political discourse of the citizenry with her childish antics, I bid you a MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEARS. I am so excited as to what the big guy (Obama) is bringing me - a tide to correct this nations of its poor decisions.

December 17, 2009 - 12:59pm — GiggleBoxWhat else are you lying about Cal Cunningham supporter?
Re: Marshall attends White House event
December 17, 2009 - 12:48pm — Isaac136Of course my real name isn't "Isaac136." Why would I give my real name on a political blog in a small town like Raleigh? Geez. Like I said, Elaine Marshall would have been thrilled to have gotten that phone call. If she prevails in the primary, I'll be happy to support her.
Re: Marshall attends White House event
December 17, 2009 - 11:26am — domewatcherIt used to be called a puppet-string. Now it's called speed-dial. At least Cal will only have to carry around a phone rather than being attached to all those strings. How in the world do they keep them from getting all tangled up. Modern technology has come a long way but a good puppeteer is still a wonder to behold.
Don't call me, I'll call you.

December 17, 2009 - 9:58am — GiggleBoxCal's netroots team is funny.
Honestly "Isaac136" (if that is your real name), do you not see Rahm Emanuel's fingerprints all over this? He's the new Karl Rove, and says he's smarter than all of us grassroots voters put together.
I'll help with you and Ishley's new slogan.
Go moderate white guy, not a woman or black or quite as Republican as the real one!
Stick that up your bumper sticker.
Re: Marshall attends White House event
December 17, 2009 - 9:20am — Isaac136Baloney. Cal Cunningham isn't "controlled" by Washington just because the Democratic leadership thinks he has the best shot at winning against Burr. Something tells me that Marshall wouldn't have been upset to have received a call from DC nor would she have interpreted it to mean that someone was trying to "control" her for crying out loud. She'd have been extremely pleased.
Re: Marshall attends White House event
December 17, 2009 - 8:29am — SouthsideJohnnyHopefully she gave the President her phone number and is waiting for a call from the Oval Office. I'm sure the President would want us to pick the candidate that best represents North Carolina rather than a candidate that is controlled by Washington.
