I wonder if he’s going to take his little choo choo train set with him. Anyone for light rail from Charlotte to Raleigh?

Cant see a Republican in the guv’s seat....weak/ineffective NCGOP and a strong RAT machine still rules. But a lot can happen.

We have met Fred Smith and his wife, and read his book. I think he has a good chance to get the nomination, and having done that, to win the Governorship. IMHO.
