Amazonia

It looks like Amazon’s affiliate program shut down in NC is part of a long running battle between local and state govs and the mail order giant. A lot of people I respect on this issue are saying ’screw ‘em.’ Here’s post from James at BlueNC that points to a Mark Binker column on the issue. ...

It burns

My eyes are still smarting from the headline and first paragraph of “conservative columnist” Deroy Murdock’s piece on health care in today’s Chapel Hill Herald. Headline: Obamacare a poison prescription (Obamacare? That sounds familiar.) First paragraph: Betsy McCaughey reads massive health care bills so you don’t have to. Yep, this Betsy McCaughey. ...

Declining Popularity

Civitas polling over the past two months has shown a significant decline in both Gov. Bev Perdue’s job approval and personal favorability ratings. After beginning the year riding high on the Democratic honeymoon period thanks to President Obama, Perdue’s numbers have taken a sharp nose dive. Her job approval rating is basically even and her personal favorability has fallen into the negative range...

Who Benefits from Sanford Affair?

Obviously, Buenos Aires isn't the best place to be if you want to run South Carolina. But for the crowded field of 2010 gubernatorial hopefuls, it's looking more and more like South Carolina isn't the best place to be, either. That could boost the fortunes of Rep. J. Gresham Barrett, who publicly has avoided the palace intrigue in Columbia in the wake of Gov. Mark Sanford confessing that he had a...
