I always suspected the CO endorsement was much more about putting a good face on Charlotte as being "behind their guy" than an actual belief he would be a better governor than Perdue. <br /><br />McCrory may have more money, but whoever wins the Dem. nomination will have the "I'm running against a Charlotte guy" card, which will score big points east of I-95.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7536140049505603887.post-26851230643937892982012-02-03T01:58:20.714-05:002012-02-03T01:58:20.714-05:00". . .unpopular Republican legislature. . .? ...". . .unpopular Republican legislature. . .?

Common se...Would McCrory rather have faced Bowles? Common sense says no. <br /><br />Common sense also says that Bowles would have preserved the straight-party-ticket vote. Which is, in my opinion, why Perdue won't be in the race-- that straight-party-ticket vote was in imminent danger of fracture.<br /><br />That being said, McCrory will still have an uphill battle against it. But if he can force it, how many other races will be in peril at the same time?<br /><br />Just a thought.heavymetalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14349568314411357067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7536140049505603887.post-58414313568416585702012-02-02T19:25:33.217-05:002012-02-02T19:25:33.217-05:00You failed to note that the "Impressive Resum...You failed to note that the "Impressive Resume" you referred to was all political appointments, NOT elected positions.
