NC-03: Weber tosses hat back into ring for NC-03's Democratic Nomination

In an email today, Craig Weber tossed his hat into the ring for the nomination to challenge Republican Congressman Walter B. Jones, Jr. ('cuz, really, who thinks Holy Joe McLaughlin is going to win that primary?) in 2008.
Says Weber in the email to many of Eastern North Carolina's Democratic politicos:
I have been asked by members of different groups and areas within the district and out, for that matter; and, by members of John Edwards' Campaign; along with, two Marine Corps Generals and two Colonels, and veterans, telling me and 'strongly urging' me to run again for Congress. There are others, including members of the Press from here to D.C. It looks like there will be a "Primary" for the Democrat Party.
I'm highly interested in these "endorsements" from the military, the media, and (most interestingly) the Edwards campaign.
I'm also interested in Weber's identification of the Democratic Party as "the Democrat Party." Is he now taking pages from Karl Rove's playbook?
How will Weber differ from long-time candidate Marshall Adame? Who will be the better choice and why? These are questions we have to answer before May 2008, friends and neighbors.
Stay tuned, friends. Eastern NC just got a heckuva lot more interesting.

Hmmmmm
Why does this feel like I'm watching a spoof of a parody of a sitcom?

What does Weber thing about an OLF
in his district?
With two generals etc looking for strengthening Cherry Point, I just wonder what will be acceptable sites to Weber.
But alas, I cannot vote in NC-03 cause I do not live there. All I can do is watch.
Goooooo Marshall!!!!
I do
"In an email today, Craig Weber tossed his hat into the ring for the nomination to challenge Republican Congressman Walter B. Jones, Jr. ('cuz, really, who thinks Holy Joe McLaughlin is going to win that primary?) in 2008."
It is a district in which only 1/3 of the voters are registerd Republicans, and right now Walter Jones Jr. has become a target of both the Club for Growth and the pro Iraqi war supporters, this one may be close I would not make that primary a given.
