Gov. Bev Perdue; Let's Skip Elections

Don't Cry For Me Carolina. North Carolina Governor Beverly (Evita) Perdue has a novel idea. Suspend elections. Her office is trying to walk back that idiotic suggestion, claiming she was using hyperbole to make a point. Those attending the speech at a Rotary Club luncheon said she appeared serious. Taken out of context? What was the context? Establishing a dictatorship? Here are her complete remarks.

"You have to have more ability from Congress, I think, to work together and to
get over the partisan bickering and focus on fixing things. I think we ought to
suspend, perhaps, elections for Congress for two years and just tell them we
won't hold it against them, whatever decisions they make, to just let them help
this country recover. I really hope that someone can agree with me on that. The
one good thing about Raleigh is that for so many years we worked across party
lines. It's a little bit more contentious now but it's not impossible to try to
do what's right in this state. You want people who don't worry about the next
election."

She probably isn't the only Democrat who would like to see the next election go away.
