We're already seeing some ideological differences in the North Carolina Dem primary field, as SoS Elaine Marshall and ex-state Sen. Cal Cunningham seek to differentiate themselves. Marshall says she'd support the public option, while Cunningham says he'd only have voted to start debate on HCR.
All it takes is a pot of coffee and the Google to track down what kind of Senate Cal Cunningham will be.
Here are some of the highlights:
<h2>Fundraiser thrown by anti-Health Care activits</h2>
Kelly Bingel, Jonathon Jones, and Ken Mehlman's brother threw Cunningham a fundraiser last month. Bingel is Blanche Lincoln's former COS while Jones worls for the DLC and Third Way. Mehlman makes his money from anti-HCR<AHIP, PhARMA, etc... Sounds like a health care champion, right?</p>
<h2>Signs Nordquist-esque, Freedom Works anti-tax pledges</h2>
Cunningham also voted for the final budget package, with the tax increase. But in his 2000 campaign for the Senate, he signed a no-tax-increase pledge when answering a Citizens for a Sound Economy questionnaire.
...and he is still defending that to this day: http://www.news-record.com/...
<h2>Refuses to support the public option</h2>

That is just the tip of the iceberg on this guy. There are two better, more progressive candidates running for Senate as REAL Democrats. Friends, don't be fooled by a few slick videos. Cal Cunningham is the next Blanche Lincoln and we don't need another one of those.
