NC-Gov: Perdue won't seek re-election

[nclib]

Perdue has actually been better than I had thought. I first thought she was quite conservative for a Democrat, but she's vetoed a lot of awful legislative bills. Perhaps those bills were bad enough for her to stand up to them.

This might not be bad electorally speaking, but if Perdue is unpopular, I wonder what other Dem could win, but perhaps a fresh face couldn't hurt.

The Democrats were pretty stupid to not have just changed the law to give the Governor veto power over redistricting plans when they had the chance. Even if it was shameless and partisan there's no denying that court-drawn maps would've been far more fair than the abominations that were passed.

It's a constitutional provision, not a law.

Also, the Dems didn't have a lame duck session after the Nov. elections.

I heard him speak at a Dem fundraiser, so probably.
