Gubernatorial Endorsements

Submitted by Gordon Smith on Tue, 02/19/2008 - 3:40pm.

Ripped from the Capital Letters blog at the Asheville Citizen-Times:

Gubernatorial candidate Bev Perdue picked up some more endorsements today, this time from 11 past presidents of the N.C. Nurses Association. One is from WNC, Gerry Roberts of Forest City.

The group's political arm doesn't make an endorsement in the primary, according to Purdue's campaign.

Perdue is piling up endorsements in her run for the Democratic nomination against state Treasurer Richard Moore (who has endorsements of his own) and longshot candidate Dennis Nielsen (really, who needs endorsements when a statue has been built of you?)

Perdue has the support of a couple of law enforcement groups, the N.C. Troopers Association and the new N.C. Sheriff Police Alliance.

Plenty of other workers' groups have her back: the Communications Workers of America, the United Transportation Union, the National Association of Social Workers and, probably most significantly, the N.C. Association of Educators.

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

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."
