Some of Gov. Beverly Perdue's smaller donations are also interesting.
As previously noted, Perdue raised $17.8 million through the end of 2008 for her successful campaign for governor, including a number of political action committees and big donors.
But some of the smaller donors from her final campaign finance report are also worth noting:
* Former Supreme Court Justice Burley Mitchell gave $2,000.
* Former Disney CEO Michael Eisner and his wife Jane gave $2,000.
* Former Sen. Lauch Faircloth gave $2,000.
* Perdue's recently appointed general counsel, Eddie Speas, gave $1,750.
* Administration Secretary Britt Cobb gave $1,000 on Oct. 28. He is the only member of Gov. Mike Easley's Cabinet to remain under Perdue.
* Former Orange County commissioner Moses Carey gave $300. Perdue appointed him chairman of the Employment Security Commission.
* Perdue's deputy campaign manager, David Kochman, and communications staffer Kennetha Smith each gave $250.
* The head of Perdue's gubernatorial endowment effort, Tom Lambeth, gave $200.
* Former U.S. Sen. Robert Morgan gave $200.
* Noted Washington, D.C., political consultant Donna Brazile gave $100.

Re: Some of Perdue's interesting donors
According to former Supreme Court Justice Robert Orr, Perdue legally became Governor on January 1, 2009, thereby negating ALL of the 'last minute' activities of the former gov sleazely!!! How 'bout that???
