Both Beverly Perdue and Brad Miller have announced that they will not seek re-election in the North Carolina. Although Perdue has no chance of winning re-election as governor of North Carolina, are the weasels running for cover? Probably not. Here’s a scenario:
- Brad Miller announces his campaign for governor of North Carolina.
- Governor Bev will become a czarina in the second Obama administration for her previous support of the administration.
I have faith in the people of North Carolina that Brad Miller will not become our next governor. I am not so sure about the rest of the country becoming sentient and voting Obama out of office and into obscurity: nothing would be a worse fate for a narcissist.

BREAKING: N.C. Gov. Bev Perdue won’t seek re-election
Democratic Gov. Bev Perdue of North Carolina will not seek re-election, a Democratic source told CNN.
The first-term governor was elected in 2008 with a three-point advantage over her Republican opponent and was expected to face a tough battle for re-election.
US Rep. Brad Miller won’t seek another term in Congress
U.S. Rep. Brad Miller will not run for another term in Congress, he said in a statement released to his supporters early Thursday.
Miller, who has served North Carolina in Washington since 2002, said the Republican-controlled legislature “dismantled” the 13th district when they redrew voting maps in July. The new maps put Miller into the 4th District with political ally and fellow Democrat David Price. Miller said Thursday he didn’t want to run against Price.
“I told David within a week of the election last year that with the Republicans in control of redistricting, we would almost certainly be drawn into the same district,” Miller said in his statement. “I had two choices: run in a primary with David, or not seek another term.”
Miller will hold a conference call Thursday morning at 11 a.m. to discuss his decision.
