Charlotte Mayor Pat McCrory had a late night Monday, and it wasn't because of a campaign event.

McCrory took time from his gubernatorial campaign to co-host a late-night edition of Fox Charlotte's "Fox News Edge" with regular host Brotha' Fred, Rogelio Aranda reports.

Looking relaxed without a tie, McCrory discussed the dangers of "electionitis," the fatigue felt by candidates (and voters) this late in the campaign.

"They don't even know what towns they're in right now. ... There's probably going to be more mess-ups."

McCrory recalled a recent campaign appearance in Hickory, where he said he told a crowd "It's great to be in the living room of Caldwell County."

Hickory is in Catawba County.

Later, McCrory joked that Libertarian gubernatorial candidate Mike Munger was harder to debate than Democrat Beverly Perdue.

"He was a bright guy," he said.

Yes, Munger is a bright guy and Perdue is a bright woman. Unfortunatley, McCrory is quite dim. Isn't this when he said Palin is "hotter in person"?What reasonable, grown man running for office says something so sexist and juvenile?
