Here is a guy who says he’s a life-long Republican; A guy who has donated over $36,000 to Democrat candidates and the Democrat Party in NC, while saying that “they best represent the values of the voters in Carteret County.” A guy who never contributed a dime to Senator Jean Preston or Representative Pat McElraft. A guy who hasn’t shown up to a Republican fund raiser, or to a Carteret County Republican Convention. A guy whose campaign is largely funded by Democrat donors, and folks from Raleigh, NC State University, and some from states other than North Carolina. A guy who puts together a slick TV spot put together by a group of political wonks from Louisiana trying convince eastern North Carolinian’s that he’s a conservative Republican. This guy spins a yarn nearly as good as Obama!
