Will Orange County Democrat Bill Faison seek the Democratic nomination for governor? The News & Observer reports these comments from Rep. Faison on the indictments of campaign associates of Gov. Perdue:

Responding to the indictments, state Rep. Bill Faison, an Efland Democrat with eyes on a higher office, questioned whether Perdue should represent the party at the top of the 2012 ticket. “I don’t know that she does,” he said. “And at this point she hasn’t announced if she is going to run again. … She doesn’t seem to be acting like somebody who should be running for governor.”
