Right?
When Pat McCrory talks to the national media about how “terrible” Charlotte did with regard to federal stimu-pork, is that not lamenting a lack of political pull with the Democrats doling out the cash? There is no merit associated with the process, none at all. Therefore, the best, most direct way to increase the city’s pork pulling power for the foreseeable future is by electing a Democrat mayor in November. Tell me I’m wrong.
Or.
One could say, to hell with the pork and the tainted one-time money with strings attached, we’re gonna do what is right for our city with or without federal handouts. And we’re not gonna whine and complain when the money lands elsewhere.
Bonus Huh: More boosting of McCrory to take on Larry Kissell, this time from the Southern Political Report. Take this as a sure sign the consultants are talking up a McCrory run, feeding it to willing outlets to pass on unexamined. How unexamined? McCrory “is likely to run well in the portion of Charlotte and its suburbs that are in the 8th District.”
