Elvis or Robin Hayes?

Submitted by Steve Hudson on Thu, 10/11/2007 - 11:25am.

Hi folks. As I think most of my friends here know, I'm the Communications Director for Larry Kissell who's running against Robin Hayes in North Carolina's 8th District.

Yesterday Robin Hayes quite inadvertantly reminded his constituents, that no matter how many times he's succumbed to Bush arm-twisting over their interests during the years, they were at least always on his mind.

His explanation for turning his back on the children of working families and voting against SCHIP carried the very lyrical title:

"Jobs, Economic Development and More Opportunity for the 8th District ARE ALWAYS ON MY MIND"

Who do you think is more believable when he says you were always on his mind?

TrueMeckDem on Myers Park Pat

"My opinion of Pat has changed over the years. I used to think he was truly a man of the people but the longer he has been mayor, the less I think of him.

As with most cities, Charlotte has three political parties: Dem, Rep, and Chamber of Commerce. Pat is definitely the puppet of the COC here. What is good for business is good for Charlotte and Pat ... very personable guy, he has gotten a bunch of Dems in these parts to vote for him but I don't trust him."
