? Pat McCrory bucks the Democratic tide, at least so far. The latest evidence of the tide comes from the latest PPP survey, showing Barack Obama 6 points up on John McCain in NC and Kay Hagan leading Elizabeth Dole 49-40.
? McCrory and Beverly Perdue offer somewhat-different takes on reforming the state board of transportation. They and Mike Munger comment on experiments with a new mileage-based tax intended to replace gas taxes as a means of having drivers finance highways.
? An independent-expenditure group, Freedom’s Watch, goes on the airwaves to tag Hagan as a tax increaser. The Hagan camp repeats its attack on Dole’s profile within the Tar Heel State.
? A Democratic poll has Larry Kissell leading Robin Hayes by 11 points in the 8th District.
