Raleigh to Denmark to Raleigh?
James P. Cain, U.S. ambassador to Denmark, was scheduled to visit High Point University today.
Cain, who once lived in High Point, probably is best known in North Carolina from his time as president of the Carolina Hurricanes hockey team.
As a young man, Cain worked with the Jesse Helms-affiliated National Congressional Club and was instrumental in the 1980 election of John East to North Carolina's other U.S. Senate seat.
There's word around the state's political circles that Cain, a Republican, might run for governor in 2008.
Cain is a brilliant guy, but running a statewide campaign from Denmark seems like a stretch. He'd have to find many more opportunities to visit North Carolina.
