I heard her say on the radio she didn't spend any money on the campaign. However, she is supposed to have raised $100K for it. Doesn't add up.

She was saving it for the general election. Really. *giggle* Too bad :)

My husband works in landscape and usually gets pretty grimy...Once, not long before the last election (not yesterday's vote) she walked up the walkway of one of his customer's houses past him...he looked at her and was going to say hello, but she never even looked at him...totally ignored him...guess she didn't care about his vote...

Now maybe Charlotte can get some real roads. Traffic is un-healthy. Instead of spending on non public uses they can focus on lowering taxes and building reall roads. First they should finish the 77 and 85 interchange and get the 485 loop finished.

Its about time the media grabber is gone!!!!

The $100K was being saved for the general election. She pompously assumed that, even though she had disenfranchised the core Republican voters by wantonly spending their hard earned money, she was a shoe-in for a spot on the general ballot. She expressed disgust at the "voters stupidity".
