Doug Berger Drops Out

Just saw in the Raleigh News & Observer that Doug Berger has decided not to challenge Judge Linda McGee after all for her Appeals Court seat. According to the N & O, "Berger decided to drop out of the race after losing the state AFL-CIO endorsement to McGee," as though the North Carolina organized labor vote was THE king-maker in our state. As if! But if Berger couldn't win union support, where would he go for a base? So it looks like a wise move.
