People's Alliance announces endorsements


The Durham-based People's Alliance released its endorsements Wednesday.

The liberal political action group endorsed candidates for local and state offices contested in the May 6 primary, choosing state Treasurer Richard Moore for governor over his opponent, Lt. Gov. Beverly Perdue.

Endorsements went to state Sen. Kay Hagan for U.S. Senate, Durham attorney Hampton Dellinger for lieutenant governor, Janet Cowell for state treasurer and David C. Smith for insurance commissioner.

The group opted not to choose between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama in the Democratic presidential primary.

Why Not Endorse Jim Neal?

How could they go against Jim Neal??? Jim Neal is the way more progressive candidate, and a much more charasmatic and passionate speaker than Kay Hagan.

Re: People's Alliance announces endorsements

Hampton Dellinger is really racking up the endorsements. Where is Walter Dalton? What has happened to his campaign?
