Where's Patrick?

Patrick McHenry seems to think of himself as some kind of celebrity. According to some friends in the GOP (as misled as they seem to be), Patrick McHenry didn't even show up to the Catawba County debate... he didn't send someone to speak on his behalf, either. Except for sending someone to "secretly" monitor the debate (I imagine with a shoe-phone and spy glasses from a cereal box), Patrick McHenry didn't care. So, the question has to be asked: where's McHenry?

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."
