Former Gov. Jim Martin has endorsed Pat McCrory.
The announcement was made by the other former Republican governor, Jim Holshouser, in introducing McCrory at his campaign kickoff in Jamestown a few minutes ago.
"He joins me in saying that we're both confident that Pat McCrory is going to be a great governor," Holshouser said.
McCrory then came to the podium, just as a freight train began blaring its way through a nearby intersection.
"We knew the train was coming sooner or later," McCrory joked.
His kickoff speech mentioned many of the urban problems he's tackled as mayor: Gangs, transportation funding and education. He also mentioned illegal immigration and corruption in state government.
He said his campaign team would work "like a garage band," not relying on expensive consultants and polling, but using their gut instincts.

Re: Oh good
Ooops. I forgot to comment on the hilarious image of a garage band that conducted public opinion polling and shopped the results to the news media!
Very funny.
