She saw the writing on the wall, but this puts the liberals in a better position to run someone more favorable.

Gov. Beverly Perdue, facing a hard fight for a second term, said Thursday that she will not seek re-election, choosing to focus her energy on fighting for a sales tax increase to fund education.
The first woman elected governor in North Carolina, Perdue faced a potential rematch against former Charlotte Mayor Pat McCrory, a Republican whom she narrowly defeated in 2008 in the state's closest gubernatorial contest since 1972. Perdue's win was partly attributed to Barack Obama's surprise win in North Carolina.
The woman who 'joked' about suspending elections will not attempt to herself get re-elected. At least she's consistent.
ReplyDeleteDo you have any inkling of who that 'someone more favorable' might be?
No, I don't, so hopefully the state will wind up with a real conservative. I would sure like to see my representative Pat McElraft go for it.
