Perdudes?

Lt. Gov. Beverly Perdue is hosting her primary night party at the North Raleigh Hilton. I’m at the Hilton, and folks are starting to trickle in. It’s mostly press and campaign staff right now, with a bluegrass band warming up in the background.
Campaign workers seem optimistic. They’re planning on a big night. Late surveys showed their candidate up on Treasurer Richard Moore by as much as 18 percentage points.
Signs on the highway outside the hotel make it obvious that this is where Perdue will be tonight. Democratic state Superintendent June Atkinson has rooms in the same building.
An interesting side note: A sign in the men’s bathroom, with a Bev Perdue patch on it, reads in red and blue letters, “THANKS PERDUDES.”
