Re: Quick Hits

Let me clarify my previous post. The link in the bullet point about Adams does work but it links to an article about the tax protest rally that happened yesterday.

The link about Merritt and Odom endorsing Adams doesn't work. Also, I think you might want to mention that Odom was the 2008 Republican nominee for North Carolina Insurance Commissioner. The general election race for the position was relatively close.
