Mayor McCrory dropped into the Gov race late but walked away with the nomination. Obviously they like him in Charlotte--he's been Mayor there for 17 years. Fred Smith was the man for the job, winning the big majority of all 100 counties, but the large number of voters in the Charlotte area carried McCoroy to the nomination. This tells me Charlotte is finally flexing its political muscle. MCCrory can out-business, out-politic, and out-debate, Perdue any day of the week. I know he will lead the state in a better direction than Perdue--we do need a change, excuse the overdone phrase, but I've had enough insider corruption and Tax & Spend democratic policy. Okay, maybe North Carolina should vote for change in their Governor as well.
