I agree that something is not right about Pantano. He is(was) a Marine, which I respect, as I was (am) one as well. However, straight from the battlefield (and questionable behavior) to public office with no time in between just seems too large a transition, too fast. McIntyre has won the respect and votes of many in Brunswick County by helping to bring Veteran's health care locally without the need to drive to Wilmington. That in itself won my vote. Sure, he has spent a lot of money, that's what ALL politicians do, but a lot of that has gone to local areas. If Pantano gets elected, I promise you he'll be on a spending spree as soon as he takes office, and all you clowns that vote for him will be taking turns kicking each others behind.
