Heard this great news while I was in the car today ..... like Howlin, I nearly ran off the road ...... :-)

In trying to look up whether Edwards must resign the Senate seat to run for the Presidency, I have come across a couple of interesting things in NC election law ......

Article VI Section 4. Qualification for registration.M/b>

Every person presenting himself for registration shall be able to read and write any section of the Constitution in the English language.


Article VI Section 8. Disqualifications for office.

The following persons shall be disqualified for office:

First, any person who shall deny the being of Almighty God.

So far I haven't found the answer I was looking for but here's a link to what I'm checking out in case someone wants to see if I'm missing something.

It does say that one cannot hold two elected offices at once but that doesn't necessarily preclude running for two concurrently.

SUFFRAGE AND ELIGIBILITY TO OFFICE

A big grin BUMP! Thanks for the ping; I've been out and didn't hear this news until now. There's a crack in the dem wall now. Rolling up my sleeves to make it larger......Easley and Edwards have got to goooooooo.

While surfing TV last night (and after not watching Chris Mathews for at least a year), I heard him going over the pitiful prospective candidates for 'o4.......when he got to Edwards' name, Chris asked, "What's he got but cute?"
