Lt. Gov. Beverly Perdue says she's debated plenty.
The Democratic nominee for governor criticized a N&O/Charlotte Observer story this morning on how U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Dole has largely avoided debates and Perdue is skipping the only live statewide televised debates.
"It took me almost three or four minutes to get to the part that said, 'Oh by the way, she's done four (debates),'" Perdue said during a meeting with the N&O editorial board Wednesday. "'She's done one every month. She's doing one next week.'"
Perdue and Republican Pat McCrory have faced off in four debates that were televised in individual TV markets, such as Raleigh, which sometimes were picked up by stations elsewhere in the state. She said five debates, counting one next week in Charlotte, is more than any governor's race in history. The article wasn't fair, she said.
"I'm a grown up," Perdue said. "Things don't need to be fair."
