Bob Etheridge’s aggressivideo is fully viral, with Drudge highlighting it, but as expected the Congressman’s local paper (McClatchy-owned) is taking its time. Ironically the top story The News & Observer has posted at this hour features an arm-wrestling fundraiser in Durham.
Headline: “Strong arms pull in $3,500 for crisis center.” Meanwhile, Etheridge’s video will pull in much more for his Republican challenger, Renee Ellmers.
