Beverly Perdue made a play for the media.
Talking about the economy at an N.C. Bar Association debate today, the Democratic gubernatorial nominee went over the heads of the lawyers and judges and gave a nod to the reporters in the back row.
"This morning's papers talked about the unemployment rate continuing to go up in North Carolina," she said. "We all know that and see that. Even the News & Observer and Charlotte Observer are having employment layoffs."
Appropriately enough, Perdue then talked about worker retraining programs. For former reporters, those usually involve several years at a law school.


Re: Perdue plays to the reporters
She is not a very good debater, she will rely on the NC Democratic machine to win the election for her. She will lose unless she learns how to debate. McCrory is no Moore.
