Glad to see Illinois isn't the only place with nasty politics. I'm referring to candidates who, instead of concentrating on what they want to do, attack their opponents.
There is a particularly virulent example of this going on for the North Carolina Democratic gubernatorial nomination. The opponents are Bev Perdue (no relation to chicken that I know of) and Richard Moore. Listening to what they have to say about each other, both should be in jail for the horrible things they have done. Of course, North Carolina's primary is coming up in May.
My own response to this sort of campaigning is not to vote for either person. I don't support mud-slinging, and besides, it's too hard to clean off. We had a campaign like that about six years ago for Illinois governor. My response was
to vote for a third party in way of a protest.
Most likely, Obama will win here in NC. Most of the whites in the state are Republican and blacks are Democrats. He also has been running lots of commercials. I just recently started seeing them for Clinton. Her campaign commercials are nothing like what I've ever seen before. She is to be commended for them.
Missed seeing Fred Smith who is a Republican running for governor Wednesday when he spoke at Goldsboro's beautifully rebuilt Paramount Theater. Country singer Lee "God Bless the USA" Greenwood appeared with him. We didn't know about it until too late. Most people expect Charlotte's mayor to win this contest.
While eating at the Salvation Army's plate lunch Thursday, Will Bland, candidate for circuit judge, ate with us. Seems like an honorable man, someone I wouldn't have a problem voting for. But, I live in Illinois.
