I’m sitting in a mostly empty ballroom at the North Raleigh Hilton, location of the Perdue festivities. Five guys are getting their bluegrass on up on stage. They’re really good.
Folks are trickling in...the party starts at 7:30. While we’re waiting...
Pundits ‘r us
As of this time tomorrow, NC will be a rapidly fading speck in the rearview mirror of the national media. But for a while there, it was one heck of a ride for the NC Press Corps.
I haven’t been able to keep up with everyone, but here’s some highlights:
- Dome’s Ryan Teague Beckwith rocked the new breakfast show on CSpan2.
- NBC17’s Kim Gennardo actually told Chris Matthews something he didn’t know.
- I did a bunch of public radio stuff – NPR shows, the BBC, etc.
- But the N&O’s Rob Christensen wins the pundit parade: he’s been on MSNBC (8 times), CNN, Jim Lehrer, CSPAN, NPR, and XM. (Of course, he has a little more incentive – he’s flogging his new book. The timing couldn’t be better.)
After Perdue speaks, I’m headed over to Obama’s shindig at NC State. Will update through the evening as making radio permits – stay tuned!
Comments? Drop me a line.
