BlueNC Blogger Bash Videos All in One Place

Submitted by Betsy Muse on Sun, 05/04/2008 - 11:44am.

I'm leaving each video as an individual page, but have gathered them all here to save the front page from heavy load times. I can't thank of anyone who deserves the front page more than our own Mike Barrett who is running for the Board of County Commissioners in Person County. Go Mike, Go.

Mike Barrett, candidate for Person County Commission


We'll follow Mike with another of our very own, Ed Ridpath, candidate for the NC House, District 37.


Jim Neal, candidate for U.S. Senate


Tilden Hagan speaks for his mother, Kay Hagan, candidate for U.S. Senate


Marshall Adame, candidate for CD-3


Roy Carter, candidate for CD-5


Jay Ovittore, candidate for CD-6


Colonel Dennis Nielsen, candidate for Governor


Bob Orr, Republican candidate for Governor


Pat Smathers, candidate for Lt. Governor


Robin Anderson, candidate for Labor Commissioner


Wayne Goodwin, candidate for Insurance Commissioner


Judge Kristin Ruth, candidate for Court of Appeals


Suzanne Reynolds, candidate for NC Supreme Court


Judge Linda Stephens, candidate for NC Court of Appeals


David Smith, candidate for Insurance Commissioner also spoke, but the video did not turn out. He used his time to encourage us to work hard for Mike Barrett so that Person County could see positive change like Chatham County has.

Thank you to all the candidates for showing up and speaking with us.

taken many, many hours. This is just the kind of candidate promotion that can get the word out at little or no cost to the candidates themselves. You and James are to commended for the event and this followup.

I don't know of a way to show "sweat" as a contribution. Is there an "In Very Kind" contribution form? :)

It does take a long time, but I've always said that if BlueNC can help candidates reach a wider audience through our efforts and if we can connect candidates with activists and activists with causes then every bit of the work is worth it.

Thank you for being willing to do what it takes to bring change to Person County.

I can't wait for Tuesday at 7:30 when you can post the

Warning about the camera work

The tripod was locked and I couldn't get both hands on it to have a smooth transition between Frank and Sam. I mean....honestly...it is hard to get them both in the same frame. Sam isn't exactly a short fella.

Betsy, thes are SO valuable.

Thank you, thank you, thank you Betsy!!

I've sent links to the local list serve and even though I suspect many folks on it have already voted, they can send it on to friends and family who haven't.

I honestly cannot imagine any other way to give folks who can't or just don't ever get to know who's running for down ballot races the opportunity to actually see them speak on a very informal, personal, real level. It is truly a beautiful thing. Truly.

2 billion dollars for Wind Power...so that we can burn domestic natural gas in our cars...I think.

"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."
