Stick a fork in the Perdue campaign, it's done.

And her campaign hasn't even (officially) started!

Governor Bev Perdue (D-NC) inserted a political equivalent of a shoe store into her yapper today when she suggested at the Cary, NC Rotary Club that elections be temporarily suspended. Just for a couple of years. Until things can get fixed. You know, so politics won't mess things up.

And it wasn't a punch line. You can even hear the stunned silence as this lead balloon of an idea hits the crowd over their collective heads. http://http//dailycaller.com/2011/09/28 ... elections/

Perdue (actually) said:

"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. You want people who don’t worry about the next election."

Maybe the Governor ought to bring along one of those guys to hold up cue cards that read "Applause" or "Laugh". If all else fails, perhaps a laugh track would be helpful?

But unfortunately the Governor was serious which, of course, doesn't say good things about what she learned in the North Carolina school system. History is replete with examples of dictators who suspend elections and here in America, we tend to take things like voting rights pretty seriously. The Constitution contemplates these very ideas -- the cartridge box protects the ballot box and the soap box.

Gov. Perdue did suggest that Congressional elections be suspended, but just for those who might be interested, Pat McCrory, the former mayor of Charlotte is probably going run for Governor of North Carolina. http://www.patmccrory.com/
