April showers
Isn't this a great time of year?
No, I don't mean the April showers, May flowers, whatever.
I'm talking about telephone push polls. Just got off the phone with a robo-push-poller from the Fred Smith campaign: "If you knew Fred Smith invented the bacon and egg breakfast, would you vote for him for governor?" Hey, what about the grits?
I'm talking about TV ads: "Bev Perdue supports the Ku Klux Klan. I'm Richard Moore and I paid for this ad warning you about Bev "Grand Dragon Lady" Perdue."
Followed by: "I'm Alma Adams, chair of the Legislative Black Caucus, and Bev Perdue is my home girl. I mean, she may be white but she's got soul."
I'm talking about mailings, like the newsletter for public employees from the N.C. Department of State Treasurer, featuring "a message from State Treasurer Richard H. Moore," who's flashing his handsome smile, that just happened to land in our mailbox one week before primary day.
"200,000 copies of this public document were printed at a cost of $8,822.20, or 3 cents per copy," it tells me.
Wonder what Bev said when she got hers.
