McCrory's last-minute oil change

Don Frantz helped Pat McCrory in more ways than one today.

The owner of Frantz Automotive Shop in Cary and town council member gave a short speech for McCrory at the announcement of the endorsement of the National Federation of Independent Business.

At the same time, he also had his employees change the oil in McCrory's car.

The Republican gubernatorial candidate said he was driving to the event after spending the night at his sister's house in Raleigh when he realized he needed an oil change before returning to Charlotte.

"This endorsement comes just at the right time because my oil light just came on," he said.

Correction: An earlier version misstated Frantz's position.

You know, some minor daily activities don't necessarily translate well into the political discourse. If Pat's awaiting instructions from his car, I sure hope he'll have a dynamic and intrepid staff of advisors if he's elected Governor.
