Veteran Democratic consultant Gary Pearce suggests a serious look at former Lt. Gov. Dennis Wicker for the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate next year.
Wicker is one of several Democrats mulling a run.
Pearce self-deprecatingly notes in his blog that he made Wicker what he is today: NOT an elected official. Pearce ran Wicker's run for the Democratic nomination for governor in 2000: "We took a whipping."
The winner of the Democratic primary that year? Mike Easley.
"Maybe Wicker’s slogan could be: I told you I’d be a better governor than Easley," Pearce wrote.
Pearce praises Wicker for building a successful law firm and describes him as disciplined (noting his considerable and sustained weight loss), hard-working, possessing the right instincts and a master of the legislative process.
