Former state Sen. Cal Cunningham returned two weeks ago from an Army Reserve tour in Afghanistan as legal counsel to a Fort Bragg special forces unit. In an interview Friday, Cunningham sized up the war in Afghanistan, Gov. Bev Perdue's chances for re-election, Democrats chances of taking back control of the legislature and the political landscape facing President Barack Obama in 2012.
Cunningham, who lost in the Democratic U.S. Senate primary to Elaine Marshall, remained coy about his political future -- though he acknowledges a likely run for office again in the future. For the time being, expect to see Cunningham as a surrogate for Obama and a promoter for other party allies running next year.

November 12, 2011 - 1:00pm — johnadams7Why does Dome post this? Cal has his friend videotape and interveiw him and Dome publishes it to his readers. Seems like Dome wants to keep Cal in the forefront of people's mind. Cal didn't even win his party's primary. Why post this softball interview?
