1. is she a frontrunner?

[Happyhippychick]

3. No, she's the mother of the chicken guy.

Actually I have no idea who she is, I just like to write the word "chicken"

[panader0]

4. Chicken, chicken ,chicken, chicken

Yeah, that does feel good.

[RiverStone]

18. These are my favorite Chicks!

Fun to type and listen to! :)

[RDANGELO]

8. Yes, she is.

She is beating her main Democratic rival by big margins in the polls. She is the Lt. governor.

19. Angel, is that your dog?

Is that you with your dog? Didn't mean to make the dog more important. Sorry about that. But he sure is cute.

5. Obama's accepted an NC debate on April 19th, CBS

Clinton hasn't said yes or no yet.

6. Dammit I'm still looking for an official link

Just saw a graphic on the tube and had the sound turned down.....


hang on...

7. that settles it for me, i didn't know who to choose between her &

Richard Moore, but I now know that she has excellent judgement, and my vote to boot. :woohoo: :applause:

[mmonk]

11. Richard has endorsed Obama also.

[Tarheel_Dem]

24. well dammit, now who do i pick?

I always leaned toward Bev Perdue because of name recognition. I'll admit I've been so consumed with the presidential primaries, I haven't taken the time to really get to know the gubernatorial candidates. This is going to be hard.

[mmonk]

25. I haven't decided either if that's any consolation.

[Tarheel_Dem]

28. Well, actually that does help...

I think I like them both and would be happy with either. Just heard on the news this morning that Richard endorsed a month ago, and Bev just endorsed this week. Hmmm....

To be fair, since I'm voting for Obama at the top of the ticket, perhaps I should vote for the female gub candidate. But Richard is just so good looking, I'd love to see him run for Dole's seat.

9. NC is insignificant, PA is HUUUUUUGE!!!

Didn't you get the meme, er, the memo? :)

[libnnc]

10. I didn't even get the mumu

:shrug:

[IDemo]

12. And renders herself dead to brazillions of DU'ers...

:)

[Spider Jerusalem]

13. I think that number is more like thirty-five, at this point...

they're just very very VOCAL,

[backscatter712]

14. Is she a superdelegate?

I'm genuinely curious. Probably not, since she's a gubernatorial candidate, not a governor, but it's possible if she's a bigwig in the DNC.

[libnnc]

16. Currently, she's Lt. Gov

maybe she is a SD? :shrug:

[hogwyld]

17. If she's the Lt. Governor

She should be, just like Patterson in NY.

[Adelante]

22. Yes, she is, as Lt. Gov nt

[Mudoria]

15. I'll be voting for Moore

[mmonk]

21. Moore endorsed him earlier and his wife

contributed $2,300.00.

[Scurrilous]

23. Great news!

K & R :thumbsup:

26. I am leaning toward Bev but worry it is for the wrong reasons

I am leaning toward Bev (and endorsing the candidate I am NOT voting for the primaries does not turn me off to her. I don't get "outraged" over endorsements. How silly.) but I worry it is wrong to vote for her because I really want a woman Gov. Is that a bad idea? Richard Moore (also endorsed Obama) has provided more details about his positions. I have watched all of their campaign ads, been to their websites, watched video clips of their debates. This is is a really difficult choice to make, and I don't have long to make up my mind. :(

I want to make the right choice. Is it wrong to vote for someone because she is a woman? I'm a man at that, but I would still really like to see more women in power in politics.

27. Jesus, I saw "Bev Harris" in the title for a second

Close call.
