Brad Miller: Yup, I'm thinking about it
Congressman Brad Miller, who stepped aside last week for David Price, is in the thick of the speculation about replacing Bev Perdue on the Democratic ticket.
Today, Miller said he's undecided about running in the primary for governor. But:
“I had not given the first thought to running for governor before Thursday. Shortly after Governor Perdue’s announcement, I began receiving unsolicited encouragement to run.
I have worked on national issues for the last nine years, but I spent eight years in the legislature and I care a lot about state issues.
In addition to the calls and e-mails I’ve received without asking, I’ve made a few calls to people who have supported me in the past. I am encouraged that if I do decide to run, I would begin with a credible base and would be able to put together a campaign quickly.”

why can't Brad Miller and Erskine Bowles team up - Brad for Governor and Erskine his CFO - or whatever that is called in government - that would eliminate a lot of no name Dems. running and put a progressive and someone with big standing in NC out in front together.

Miller is very popular and many of the comments I've read refer to his willingness to help people in or out of his district. He is smart, funny and honest....hard to come by these days in a politician.

El paseo: The incredible 5,000-mile journey of Saul Flores
What Saul Flores experienced on "The Walk of the Immigrants" is as visually and intellectually stirring as it is politically infuriating. He saw many different cultures, Flores says, but finally he saw just one people. "We are, all of us, Americans."
