The other governor drops by


Jim HuntA little confusion emerged at the James Taylor concert in Raleigh.

Taylor introduced "Governor Jim Hunt," who is, of course, the former governor. But since Gov. Mike Easley would have to have left the mansion and traveled three blocks to attend the show, Dome understands.

(Or maybe he's more of a Gordon Lightfoot fan...) 

During his time on stage, Hunt praised JT as "North Carolina's favorite son.".

Re: The other governor drops by

It's normally polite to refer to politicians by their highest rank. People still call Bill Clinton "President Bill Clinton," for example.

How long have you been covering politics?
