Jeff Taylor says Pat McCrory needs a big conservative idea.
In a post on The Meck Deck, the conservative blogger argues the Charlotte mayor is different from former Republican Gov. Jim Martin, who ran as an "unabashed conservative."
As we tried to explain, McCrory must find something to run as a conservative on. He will no doubt be perceived as socially liberal — because he is from Charlotte. Fine. He can overcome that, perhaps turn it into an asset. But not with a wish-washy set of bromides on the side.
Taylor was responding to a recent piece by UNC-TV host D.G. Martin that argued the Charlotte mayors curse is bogus.
