Democratic Gov. Bev Perdue of North Carolina has been ranked among the weakest incumbent governors in 2012. This morning, multiple news outlets have confirmed that she won’t seek a second term in office.
Readers of The American Spectator will doubtless remember Perdue as the governor who suggested that elections be suspended so that Congress may solve the nation’s problems.
Perdue is expected to confirm the news later today in an announcement. Her decision increases the probability even more that North Carolina will have a Republican governor come 2013.

God... that's fine, but really frightening that McCrory might get it this time. He's the worst.

Care to enlighten us regarding any potential Republican candidates?

The whole state continues it's slide towards liberalism. I was going to retire there but after looking over the politics will move further south.

Better look again. I live on the coast, and we are conservatives with two large military bases. The General Assembly is controlled by the GOP for the first time in over a 100 years. It's going to take awhile to clean up the mess, but there's hope.
I'm not fond of McCroy, but hopefully, the GOP General Assembly will keep him in line, if he can win.

Lots of the old dogs bailing out...
they know that they are implicated in the biggest fraud ever perpetrated in American politics...just like Perdue. She knows that Obama if facing jailtime...and she's trying to avoid it for herself.
