Please don't forget to go to One America Committee to vote for Larry. Voting ends today.

Most of you have heard about Larry Kissell's ingenius idea to sell gas at $1.22/gallon in RANT's great diary from yesterday. The results are in and it was an overwhelming success for many reasons. Yes, over 500 people were served. Yes, the news coverage has been terrific. Yes, the many different points represented by this gesture seem to all have been made quite successfully.

Lance outlined the major provisions of the new commission earlier, but now it is official as Easley signed the bill creating the NC Innocence Commission. The commission is the only one in the nation that allows for appeals outside the current court system, where the bases for review of trial court decisions are very narrow. (article on the law here)

Vernon Robinson has tried to make a big deal about his donor list. There's no secret to it. He just buys the names here at Omega List Company as indicated in FEC reports and confirmed by "data cards"

Some of the same donors probably appear on similar conservative lists from Robertson Mailing List Company as the donors have given multiple contributions to other organizations that use this company.

The "data cards" give information about target audience, recent users, cost and terms. I think Vernon has a fondness for the GOPUSA email list because of the relative low cost of email, the other organizations that use it and support him and, because his printing/mailing expenses don't yet seem high enough to account for a print/mail campaign outside NC-13, unless of course he is piggy-backing on other mailings. Omega probably wouldn't be too pleased that his is giving away their product.

Well, folks, old "one bullet, no gun" Robinson is up to his old tricks again. This time he claims that Brad Miller voted to allow child molesters to migrate into this country. Looking back on his past campaigns, it appears he's running out of unbelievable material - like calling Virginia Foxx a liberal - and he's now churning out crap that even turns Republicans against him.

Every pundit and expert I checked from Charlie Cook to Chris Cilliza has said that Miller is safe. Every person who's ever campaigned against a challenger like Robinson knows you don't listen to that. You have to campaign to win, so the good and honorable Brad Miller is having to put up with these unbelievable claims and outright lies being flung from Vernon Robinson.
