Even if Basnight were to run, he has a big Achilles Heel this election and it is that extravagant pier that he earmarked the state funds for in Nags Head.  The one Carter used in his Doug Berger ads.  With the economic crisis, voters are very upset and focused on wasteful projects such as this.  Run ads showing unmet needs locally and compare it with how much was wasted on this pier.  I spent a weekend in Dare County a couple of months ago, and even locals I talked to down there thought it was a boondoggle of huge proportions.  Runs enough ads ramming his stinking pier down his throat and he will be an ex-Senator.

What was the vote on that pier?  If I'm not mistaken it had widespread support across party lines when it was proposed.  It was only after it passed the GA that it became an issue.  Better make sure it doesn't come back to bite you.
