I agree with you about McCrory and Orr not having the resources Pack Pat. Do you know if McCrory has used his position and time to help other Republicans? I don't remember him doing it, in fact I remember him pitching a fit and slamming Patrick Ballantine because he was against light rail.

Because McCrory's campaign committee is local, I do not have the numbers from it, but I will update this post as soon as possible.

McCrory and Orr do not have millions to just give all over the place. McCrory will not buy the governor's mansion.

It is pretty apparent that Smith and Graham have done the most to help other Republicans. McCrory's generosity or lack thereof is glaring considering his position and the relative lack of opposition he's had over he years.
