The wires are buzzing today with news about the potential entry of yet another candidate into the Republican race for North Carolina governor. This time, it's former State Supreme Court Justice Bob Orr.

Orr, 60, has been calling Republicans and plans to spend the next two or three months moving around the state to see whether his candidacy is viable. "I have been encouraged by the limited response so far," Orr said. "If the response is as encouraging as the initial foray has indicated, then I would probably jump in the race."
