“Democrats, Republicans and
unaffiliateds agree on one thing:
The government should not be run
for somebody’s personal property,
but for the taxpayers here in North
Carolina,” Chilton said.
In the final days of a campaign
that has been neck-and-neck
Perdue leads McCrory 47 to 44 in
an Oct. 25 to 26 poll by Raleigh’s

Job growth: Give states fund
paign,” he said, explaining that
he doesn’t have the corporate and
party machine money to run nega
tive television ads across the state
the way Perdue has.
He also accused Perdue of
being a part of a party machine in
Raleigh.
“The state government is run by
a power elite behind closed doors.
They never get out of the beltline in
Raleigh,” McCrory said.
Supporters of all ages, some
proudly displaying “I voted”
stickers, shouted “leadership” as
McCrory promised to lead an ethi
cal government that would be pro
active across party lines.

“There’s not a Republican or
Democratic way to fill a pothole,”
McCrory said. “I’ve always found a
bipartisan coalition to make things
happen.”
Charlotte residents have seen
McCrory reach across the aisle as
the Republican mayor of a city with
a Democratic city council.
“If you look at his record, he
has just gotten things done. There
are a whole lot more Democrats
in Charlotte, but in the midst of a
Democratic-dominated city coun
cil, there’s been bipartisan sup
port,” said UNC Students for Pat
McCrory member, first-year John
Harris.

clinched the endorsements of most
of the major state newspapers,
which typically endorse Democrats.
The Daily Tar Heel also endorsed
McCrory on Monday.
McCrory said that his seven
terms as mayor of a Democratic
city and his commitment to gov
ernment ethics have attracted lib
eral support for his candidacy.
“I’ve been courting Independents,
Republicans and Democrats since
the beginning. That’s how I’ve been
elected mayor seven times.”

Other students gently smiled as
they watched the wild movements
of the dancers.
“I mean, I like dancing in clubs
and parties,” senior Jennifer
Durham said as she walked towards

be too embarrassed.”
A couple of brave students were

Other dancers pulled in friends
off bikes and in a hurry to class, and
a giggling group of high schoolers
touring campus joined in a sponta
neous and music-free dance party.
The committees hope to host more
silent discos in the future. Most of the
dancers Wednesday pledged their
support for more mute dances.
“These days, we are all really tired
of studying,” said junior Courtney
Huffines, dancing in a wild circle
with two friends. “Everyone should
be able to get out and just dance.”
