McCrory excites Minges crowd
Republican gubernatorial candidate Pat McCrory was greeted by a standing ovation in Minges Coliseum.
McCrory, the mayor of Charlotte, said he believes GOP presidential candidate John McCain “gets it” and that is why he selected a former mayor as his running mate.
McCrory spoke out against what he called a culture of arrogance in government and said the time for change is now.
The gubernatorial hopeful also spoke out in favor of clean coal technology, conservation and offshore drilling which brought chants of “Drill baby drill” from the crowd.
“Lt. Gov. Beverly Perdue recently said she was 100 percent opposed to offshore drilling,” McCrory said. “She said it would not happen on her watch. She is right. It will happen on my watch.”
