Any politics happening 'round here?

Gov. Easley's support for Hillary Clinton gives her exactly one more superdelegate. I don't know how many voters it will sway.

Probably fewer than Jeremiah Wright's latest spoutings. He's the worst thing that's happened to Barack Obama during this campaign, and he won't go away.

Charlotte Mayor Pat McCrory tells about being dissed by Easley a couple of years ago when McCrory led a group of mayors and local law-enforcement officials to Raleigh seeking more help fighting crime. So I wonder: Was McCrory there when, according to the Charlotte Observer, "Scared and frustrated, a group of Charlotte residents marched on city hall Monday and demanded that leaders do something about crime"?

Bill Clinton watch: The former president starts in Boone this afternoon and works his way downhill. Expect delays.

One so far and that is Easley vote! The question should be this? What job did Hillary offer Easley since his employment propects are dim for the future in government? No doubt the offer is that he will be in charge of the Clinton Pizza department after his outstanding trip to Italy for tourists.

Somebody has to be paying Wright. Why else would the guy want to negatively influence a black man's chance to be Pres.-his own parishoner to boot.

Somebody gettin' paid. You can bank on it!

Somebody paying for the Swift Boat USS Jeremiah.

Probably a lot cheaper and more effective than running TV ads promising to cut the gas tax. Anyone believe Hillary's going to get that done by Memorial Day?

Michael McKinney is another Triad Real Estate and Building Industry Coalition Member otherwise known as the TREBIC CARTEL

The TREBIC CARTEL wants to put it’s stamp on everything in Guilford County. If the people of this county don’t wake up to the unethical and down right influence of the TREBIC CARTEL on rules & regulations , policies and procedures
than anything goes welcome to the TREBIC TRIAD

Look at what Michael “Love to see his TREBIC CARTEL 2008 Campaign Contributions” Mckinney wants to do:

explore outsourcing construction to private developers that build and lease schools to the district

Wonder why he wants to do this it is a part of the TREBIC CARTEL and their influence in Guilford County and Greensboro and High Point’s City Councils.

DO NOT VOTE for another TREBIC CARTEL Member NO to McKinney

Barak Obama is only against a gas tax holiday, because McCain and Clinton were for one first. Obama doesn’t want to look like a follower. The proof is in the pudding. In 2000, as an Illinois state Senator, he voted 3 times for a gas tax holiday of Illinois State taxes. Obama's playing old style politics, and his supporters should see that he is fooling them about "A new and different kind of politics".

I wish Easley would get to work for citizens of NC.

As of yesterday several more miles of NC beaches (OBX area) were closed to all, including pedestrian, traffic due to nesting birds. None of which are endangered by the way.

Please check out www.obpa.org for more of the true story. Please do not just read the press releases. Could someone please do some real reporting around here!
