bale...

I do indeed refer to Vinroot, being new to NC politics, I was using someone elses characterization. Whatever he was or is, I thot it was dirty politics to withdraw and accept money from RNC. I am sure he would never say it was a bribe.

Pleeeez....bribe is such an ugly word. As a genteel southerner, I would not infer such ugly behavior on another without hard proof. I do think, however, that there was some political back-scratching.

P.S.

Look for Vinroot to run for Gov. again in the next cycle, although he has proven time and again that he cannot be elected to statewide office.
