I personally got an e-mail from Cobey's campaign a while back, and was wondering how that happened.

Now I know.

Not that Jack Hawke is exactly a scion of ethics, but Cobey's and Peaslee's use of the salted lists is pretty much a smoking gun.

Ferrell had better do something about Peaslee if he wants to maintain any sort of credibility. Right now he just looks like Cobey's stooge.

Honestly, y'all, I thought a Freeper had given out my personal e-mail address.
Not too many people have it on this board, but after having read this, I'm glad I didn't accuse anyone!

Yeah, he does.
I wasn't too thrilled about Cobey, a party hack, running for Gov, and this makes me even less so.

Bang, bang, bang! Oh, my fooooooot!

Here we go. You see, what is lost here and what should be receiving at least equal attention is that the NC GOP and all GOP candidates MUST be squeaky clean about all they do. I mean, you think there aren't similar stories to be told about the Dims and Weasley? But don't hold your breath waiting for the N&O, Charlotte Observer or the A.P. to report them.

Well, I don't know much about the Charlotte Observer, but we both know that the N&O is at the front of the NC Dem's claque.

If we had any kind of real media at all there would STILL be stories being written about how Weasley balance the state budget by withholding money from the locals. There have GOT to be some really PO'd folks out there about that.

I got an email from Cobey and also a solicitation letter. The only previous contact I've ever had w/him is sending in a donation to NC Republican Party.

More of the same from the GOP in NC. Exactly the reason I REFUSE to register as a Republican in this state.

I sincerely hope and pray that Cobey doesn't get the nod in the primary, I'd have to have an industrial pair of clamps to wear on my nose to vote for him in Nov.

Although I'm not supporting Cobey, this is nothing new. I get e-mail from many candidates who never should have my e-mail address unless there's a lot of "sharing" going on. Cobey could have gotten his lists from the party, from people associated with different campaigns, or maybe even the RNC. Who knows. I never signed up for Ballantine e-mails either, or George Little, but I get junk from them too.

This is a list of email addresses (GOP or conservative) that I receive email from at the same email address that my Cobey email comes to. I have indicated with a star those to whom I know that I have given this particular address:

Bill Cobey
GOPteamleader.com*
NCGOP*
Ballantine for Governor
Vernon Robinson*
Ken Mehlman*
CWA Alerts
Myrick for Congress*
Winter Soldier Newsletter*
Southern Republican Leadership Conference rpof.org*
Newsmax
Richard Burr
George W. Bush.com*
Dick Armey*
Barrett for Governor
Don Reid*
Cumberland County GOP*
Protestwarrior.com*
Contributions @freerepublic.com*
aim.org* Accuracy in Media
Jim Snyder
Tech 5
National Right to Life
George Little
American Anglican Council

If we all put up our lists, this may help us identify the root of the problem. I suspect someone is selling email lists.

*****If you choose to share your list, please DO NOT give out any exact email addresses.*****

Do you actually read all that stuff?

I've only gotten a few unsolicited political emails -- I have several email addresses so it's hard to keep track of what I've signed up for where. I'm pretty sure Tech5/Barrett/et al "shares" email addies -- but let's be honest, we know people pass lists around to people they're supporting.
