Perdue ad: questions?
Bev Perdue's campaign put out an ad today that focuses on her background and qualifications. That's a contrast from the ad that Treasurer Richard Moore put out Sunday, that is more forward-looking.
Here's the script of the Perdue ad:
Script: Bev Perdue. She grew up in a home filled with love and faith. And while neither of her parents finished high school, they taught her that with a good education, she could do anything.She became a teacher, went on to earn a Ph.D., and as a health care administrator provided vital services for seniors. Helping others gave Bev a mission in life, here in North Carolina, shaping the future.
A state representative, a state senator, lieutenant governor, leading the fight for Smart Start and helping to create a North Carolina prescription drug plan called the best in the nation. Because of Bev, teachers have higher salaries, 115,000 uninsured kids have health care. And military bases across North Carolina were saved from closure, because one little girl grew up believing she could do anything. And as governor, Bev Perrdue will do what it takes to get it done.
I'm beginning to do my due diligence, but anyone out there see anything I should ask about?
The video version of the ad is on Perdue's website.

The claims about teacher pay, healthcare coverage and, in particular, base closure seem over blown.
Of courese if she claims credit for those votes she also ought to take credit for increasing taxes and raiding the highway trust fund.
