Easley on Senate campaign
I'm having to turn my attention to that funny paper thingy we throw in the driveway every morning. But Gov. Easley held a news conference this afternoon, mainly on the drought. Of course, we scruffy media types ambushed him afterward and asked him about the Senate campaign. The telling bit, from my story in tomorrow's paper:
Still, Neal's biggest disadvantage may be that he's not as well known to those with their hands on the traditional levers of power and campaign funding in the state.When asked about the campaign today, Gov. Mike Easley praised Hagan as "a real champion" for health care, education and economic development. He called her, "as strong a candidate as you'll see running anywhere in the country."
When asked about Neal, Easley said, "I don't know him, I don't know anything about him."
