She just didn't see crime as a priority in North Carolina. She expects that this race should be hers, since she won the Democratic primary (and Democratic candidates tend to win the gubernatorial race), and I get the feeling that she's a little put off by the fact that she's having to campaign so hard. If she hadn't thought that this race would be handed to her on a silver platter, she would have already have unveiled her plan.<BR/><BR/>Kudos on Lawson, though. Were you a Paul supporter as well? We could use more candidates like them.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13980126360024872742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7133627467906898087.post-19215964964729516112008-07-30T07:08:00.000-07:002008-07-30T07:08:00.000-07:00Melissa,You fail at mention here that it is not th...Melissa,<BR/>You fail at mention here that it is not the job of the Lt. Governor to draft plans to cut down on crime. It is right and appropriate for the mayor of one of the largest cities in NC to have plans to end crime; that is his job. It, however, was not the job of Bev Perdue, the Lt. Governor to have such a plan. It is time for her to have a plan now and that is why she is drafting that plan so that we can look objectively at both plans and decide which plan we would like to represent the views and convictions of our state. It would come as no surprise to you that I am a fan of Bev; she is going to do an incredible job for this state.<BR/><BR/>I must say, however, that I fully agree with your view of BJ Lawson; he is a great candidate and I have broken ranks with my party to support him; yea even to campaign for <A HREF="http://www.demsforlawson.com/" REL="nofollow">him!</A>.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16722246911257817890noreply@blogger.com
