Erskine Bowles came trotting down the hall at UNCG's Elliott Center last night. His bus tour was running a little late after a high-energy stop in Winston-Salem. But before Bowles reached the packed room of supporters awaiting him, he veered into another meeting room next door to work that crowd for a few minutes. Finally on the podium, he delivered a brief but energetic catechism to the faithful. Then he worked the room, person by person, group by group. On his way out, I introduced him to a pair of conservative students who had come to roll their eyes and snicker at his liberal pieties. He put his arms on their shoulders and preached a little more. Back on the bus. He had to be at breakfast this morning at 7:30 in Wilson, and on through Rocky Mount and Kinston and New Bern and other points east by Friday evening...and then on Saturday he's really busy, with five events on the schedule. I got a chance last night to thank Crandall Bowles for the sacrifices she and her family are making in this campaign. I would say the same to Brooke Burr. 12:11:05 PM comment []

Mike Munger is wrestling with free speech and its discontents at Duke. It's no job for a pussweiler, that's for sure. 11:20:01 AM comment []

I've been reporting an article about online campaigns for my day job. Recently a press staffer for one candidate sniffed to me that the campaign didn't have time to spend with "insider publications." Newsflash: there are no more insider publications. The web killed that distinction. If something is worth reading, it will get found and read and discussed. Assume your next employer will know how to use Google. This person is looking to build a campaign staff and wants to learn about a key player on the original Howard Dean team. The second Google entry for "Howard Dean Zephyr Teachout" is an "insider publication." The same insider pub comes up as the 6th entry if you Google "Howard Dean Internet campaign" -- and the second item on that list is by a blogger. Welcome to your future. 9:08:51 AM comment []

TheShu has a detailed, well-reasoned, experience-based endorsement of Jeff Thigpen for Register of Deeds. Great local blog journalism. Register of Deeds should not be an elective office, certainly not a partisan race. TheShu 'splains real slow why it matters who wins, and makes a strong case for bloggin' Jeff. 8:22:16 AM comment []
