Perdue gets a footnote

Beverly Perdue got a brief mention in the New York Times.

In an article about future female presidential candidates, Week in Review writer Kate Zernike says the most likely candidate will be from the South or west of the Mississippi, possibly a Democrat who has won in a red state.

Later in the story, she mentions possible female running mates for Barack Obama, including Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius. 

"Beverly Perdue, the lieutenant governor of North Carolina, who is running for governor, is also named as a prospect," she writes.

Perdue is also listed on an accompanying graphic of 12 potential female candidates, next to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.

Dome thinks Perdue will probably have to become governor before she's considered running mate or candidate material, however.

Perdue should get a foot, the voters foot, right out the door. Easley ran this state into the ground, the last thing we need is 4 more years of his sorry agenda.

So Easley who is not going to be listed as one of our best governors strongly endorsed Hillary Clinton and Bev Perdue.

The people need to see that electing Perdue will be a continuing of the status quo and the many failures in our state government. I also list Dan Blue as being part of the problem. We need change in North Carolina and the change is to throw the Democrats out.
