? Beverly Perdue no longer seems to be implacably against deep-sea drilling off the NC coast. Could have something to do with Pat McCrory’s new ad on the subject, which began running this week. Both candidates say they opposed to the state community college system allowing illegal aliens to enroll in degree programs.
? Though technically on vacation, Perdue takes a break from her break to campaign in Northeastern NC, emphasizing her personal and legislative experience on such issues as education and health care.
? National media and commentators take note of the Survey USA poll showing Elizabeth Dole with a five-point lead over Kay Hagan. Newsweek picks up on the flap over Hagan’s age-themed ad against Dole, while Bob Dole campaigns in Eastern NC, touting his wife’s experience and urging GOP candidates to return to their roots.
