No kidding.
The N&R gets the Official Word from Pat McCrory’s camp on a run for governor: “Just stay tuned.”
Under the Dome calls this “McCrory’s non-denial denial” — nice Nixonian touch there.
Figure on an announcement, probably in Jamestown, on Thursday or Friday. Tomorrow would clash with the post-New Hampshire analysis and you gotta get it out ahead of the weekend or you run into the next week’s Michigan primary. McCrory also needs to be out there so he can jump into the Jan. 17 debate that WRAL is putting on. One would think.
Word is that a campaign staff is being assembled right now, along with various media and marketing arms. No idea — as yet — if that will include Fetzer Stephens as consultants or not.
Guess we’ll hafta — stay tuned. Like I’ve said, I hope he gets in. More candidates means more choices and a greater chance actual issues get addressed.
