Staffers working for the Democratic governor of swing-state North Carolina have been using embargoed federal data for political advantage, putting state employees at risk of jail time, according to emails uncovered by the free-market John Locke Foundation.

Republicans jumped on the news to demand explanations from embattled Gov. Beverly Purdue, whose declining poll ratings may stymie President Barack Obama’s campaign to win the state’s crucial 15 electoral votes in November 2012.

She’s a Democrat, so the law doesn’t apply to her.

Mistakes were made. The process broke down. The system failed. An internal investigation is underway. We’ll be offering no comment because of the ongoing investigation. Procedures will be overhauled. A commission will be created to look into this.

To many Northeasterners migrating to NC therefore making it a 50/50 state.
For example: the town of Cary stands for Containment Area for Retired Yankees.

Asheville - Toe River Valley - Blowing Rock. Beautiful scenery, nutcase locals. Take the Toe River Art Tour sometime if you doubt that.

Excellent question. Why would she be the only one?

How does NC end up with a ‘Rat Governator?

It's not all Yankees pulling the Rat lever at election time.

Since 1879, NC has had Rat Governors for all except 2 brief four year periods. It's a tradition. The last GOP Governor was 1973-1977. This year we elected the first GOP Legislature since 1898.

I will admit though a lot of Liberal Yankees are stinking the place up - just like they are stinking every other place up. I say that as a transplanted Yankee!

But if the Bamster thinks he is winning NC in 2012 like he did in 2008 he has another think coming - unless Ron Paul runs 3rd Party. Then he might win.

...Of that group of critics, Ms. Perdue said he believed that a few — the “more extreme segment” — were motivated by animus against Mr. Obama and that she served as a stand-in for him. “This is a way to get at the president because of the way I can be identified with him,” she said, “both due to the nature of our relationship and, you know, the fact that neither of us have any balls.”

Got it! The Blues Brothers (Belushi to Carrie Fischer).

Seriously, though, I think that people have Rat Scandal Fatigue. Criminal, immoral, or unethical behavior is not only normal, but actually encouraged and expected, if its goal is to produce the desired “progressive” results.
