? Kay Hagan, Beverly Perdue, and other Democratic statewide candidates are scheduled to attend the 30th annual North Carolina Senior Democrats Convention on July 26 in Clemmons, near Winston-Salem. For Perdue, a more-immediate campaign stop will be an appearance Friday before a N.C. Press Association meeting in Asheville. Pat McCrory will also address the association, but this will be a series of speeches, not a debate.
? McCrory’s fundraising base is, not surprisingly, chock full of Charlotte-area donors, which make up more than half of the total to date. Perdue’s donors are more widely distributed.
? Elizabeth Dole is the only senator from the Carolinas to join the majority in overriding President Bush’s veto of a Medicare bill.
? PPP’s Tom Jensen observes an eerie stability in poll numbers for NC races.
