Gov Bev Perdue (D-NC) will not seek reelection

Gov. Beverly Perdue (D-NC) will not seek re-election – fears a fight with GOP over public education would become too political. Uhhh, yeah, right. Perdue is the nutjob who “joked” about suspending elections for a few years so the pols can “fix” the economy. What would really help the economy is getting dingbats like her out of high office. Good riddance.

  • North Carolina, Virginia, and Indiana, are 2008 Obama states he probably doesn't have a prayer of carrying this year.

  • Reading some of the ho puffer comments really send a chill into the old heart. We've really become far too commie lovin in this country! The marxists have taken a grand hold on far too many Americans.

    Spew hate and insult anyone that does not follow the commie leader. even if we to correct the horror in the white house, there are so many retarded progs out there now, I fear for freedoms of my grand children being lost to these fahking idiots!

  • The last six words fta kinda sum up libs whole outlook. She still gets a medal for competing, right?

  • suspending elections for a few years so the pols can “fix” the economy.

    Kinda like Obummer asking Congress to give him the power to consolidate government?
    Gee, how do we think THAT would work out? Consolidate everything he likes and discard the rest?

  • She saw the writing on the wall. However, it should be noted that as late as Jan 17, 2012 she came out in favor of increasing the NC Sales Tax an addition 3/4 cent to stop what she called "deep and unnecessary cuts" to schools.

    Same ol same ol...Whatever the problem, a Democrat is always in favor of raising a tax to "earmark" the revenues to fix the problem.

    • It's never a spending problem, it's always a income problem. BTW, when it comes to education, it does'nt matter how much we spend, it's never enough, never. They bring tax levees to fund education almost every election cycle, & it's never enough. Something is wrong & it needs to be cleaned up, & you start by scarpping the Dept. of Education, & then you target the NEA. Get rid of the dead weight, then tings can start trending upward.
