It's all about Tuesday
The Char-O endorses Obama. So does the Wilmington Star-News.
McClatchy's Barbara Barrett and Martha Quillan say race might (still) matter in NC.
W-SJ's Bertrand Gutierrez and Sean Mussenden look at what Obama and Clinton are doing to woo the other’s supporters.
Lines were long at one-stop sites around the state yesterday. Dome reports 8% of eligible voters have already cast ballots. And – loved this story - the N&O's Stanley Chambers talked to a woman who voted for the first time yesterday – on her 97th birthday.
But Greensboro’s Mark Binker says heavy presidential turnout may not amount to much help for the folks down-ticket.
For those who DO want to fill in all the bubbles, Winston Salem’s Paul O’Connor offers a little homework help.
On the gov trail
- The AP’s Gary Robertson was digging Ham & Yams yesterday with GOP hopefuls Pat McCrory and Fred Smith.
- The N&O's Lynn Bonner checks out the gubernatorial candidates’ management credentials.
- Fay-O's editorial page editor Tim White says Moore’s ad campaigns have driven him into Perdue's camp.
In case you missed it…
Between the election and the fund drive, last week was pretty much nuts. Here’s the recap.
I talked to Obama Wednesday afternoon. Here’s the on-air version, and I posted the rough cut here.
Friday afternoon, I talked to Clinton. The edited version aired that afternoon; the rough cut is here.
Listen Now!
In between, there were six gubernatorial profiles: McCrory, Graham, Moore, Smith, Perdue, Orr.
I talked to Liane Hansen for today's Weekend Edition Sunday. That interview's here.
And I'll also be on the new public radio morning show "The Takeaway" early Monday morning. Really early...as in 6am. I have a lot of respect for anyone who’s coherent at that hour. I just hope I can fake it.
And last but certainly not least
A huge thank you to all of you who
made our fund drive so successful. Because of your help, we met our
800K goal and exceeded it by another 50K. Thanks so much for keeping
public radio going strong!
