ANOTHER poll post? Hey Jack, aren't you due for one of those "long weekends" they've been giving Newsom and Fowler? Or are you so old you're tenured?

Maybe this time Charlotte people can get it right and vote for the RIGHT guy not THE JOKER.

McCrory would make a far better governor than Perdue. The only reason Perdue won in 2008 was riding Obama's coattails. Now that the vast majority of the voters have turned on Obama because of his marxist idealogy and idiotic, destructive policies...Perdue is toast. Support McCrory for effective governorship. North Carolina needs a great governor and that would be McCrory.
