Beverly Perdue and Barack Obama are side-by-side in a new mailer.
The N.C. Democratic Party paid for the mailer, which feature's the party's gubernatorial and presidential candidates and the words "Democrats we trust to fight for us."
The photograph of the two dates to the run-up to the May primary, when it was used by the Perdue campaign in a mailer targeted at black voters.
In a sign of how competitive North Carolina has become, the new mailer was sent to a larger group of voters, including unaffiliated and white voters.
"Bev Perdue's campaign to create jobs and fight for our economy has been endorsed by the leaders we trust, including Senator Barack Obama, North Carolina teachers, police, nurses and over a dozen mayors across the state, including former Charlotte Mayor Harvey Gantt and current Charlotte Mayor Pro Tem Susan Burgess," it reads on the back side.

Re: Obama, Perdue on mailer
October 28, 2008 - 6:04pm — pickingperdueWhile McCrory would be fighting for Duke Energy and big banks. You know the "power elite", the "culture of arrogance", the "I'm Pat McCrory the difference is leadership". It is truly refreshing to see someone be so honest and admit corruption and power elite about himself, and he even touts Perdue's leadership. He further admitted on his infamous FoxLive interview on October 13th (you remember, "Sarah Palin is hotter in person") that he wouldn't even vote for himself. I agree! What a guy!!

October 27, 2008 - 6:52pm — pickingperdueOh dear, you have this one all wrong! McCrory said this long before Baldwin did, and worse yet, Baldwin did it as a parody on slimy, gross old men. If you watched SNL, you saw Palin roll her eyes in disgust. If you heard McCrory on FoxLive, you would know Playboy Pat said it first, was serious, and could only then be a caricature of himself and all slimy, gross men! Maybe Baldwin heard Pat say it and thought it was ridiculous enough to use as fodder on SNL!! This is a REAL issue - McCrory is irreverent and irresponsible.

October 27, 2008 - 6:46pm — BethStanhopeGosh picking, you must have been furious to hear Baldwin first say this on Saturday Night Live. Those were Baldwin's exact words. It's so nice to hear a Democrat like you coming to the defense of Governor Palin's honor. Maybe you should call up Baldwin and tell him of your disgust. Better yet, why don't you focus on the real issues of the campaign for Governor!
Re: Obama, Perdue on mailer
October 27, 2008 - 6:40pm — pickingperdueI think anything Perdue says would be honest and refreshing after the smut that came from McCrory on Foxlive. Watch that video of his top ten list...Number 1 "Sarah Palin is hotter in person." Disgusting, juvenile, irresponsible, and diplaying a total lack of good judgement. You actually could back someone like that? I am beyond amazed.
PS Why do you McCrory supporters ignore his spineless dodge of associations with Bush, Jim Black, and the RGA ads? His ads are the most negative on TV, but he does not have the guts to stand behind them. He pretends to be "clean" and lets the RGA do his dirty work. He alleges he can't pull those ads...ask any legal expert.
Re: Bev stretching truth again

Bev stretching truth again
October 27, 2008 - 11:58am — concerned53Wow, Bev has the support of a dozen mayors across the state. And at least one of them is NOT a mayor, Susan Burgess. Burgess is a Mayor Pro-Tem in Charlotte, which is kind of like a Lt. Governor - ceremonial.
And I guess another mayor on that list of 12 is Harvey Gantt who was a good mayor of Charlotte but from 1983-1987. While Harvey last said something publicly about Beverly in April, before the primary with Moore, his most recent comment that I am aware of about either candidate is the following: "Pat has done a really good job. Anybody who has the ability to be elected as many times as he's been is obviously doing a good job, and people are comfortable with him."
Pretty good for the opponent for who you are supposed to be endorsing.

October 27, 2008 - 11:53am — domewatcherIt’s just like Andy said to Opie:
“If you stay strong and healthy, and don’t go down for no felonies, and respect butterflies…..then you’ll probably get to see Bev use the same photo for mailings to all people….in that all people are created equal and should have the right to receive the same campaign mailers regardless of race, religion, national origin, creed…….. and neither rain nor snow nor gloom of night shall keep the postman from delivering this mailer to every mailbox on his/her appointed rounds……..plus, the huddled masses have a right to see this photo......because this is a Kodak moment if there ever was one.”
