I imagine that Gov. Perdue refers to North Carolina Gov. Bev Perdue, a Democrat, not Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue, a Republican. You can guess who "THE Call" was.
Of note: If Deeds received a call from Montana Gov. Brian Schweitzer, he didn't mention it.

GOVERNING Politics is the place for news and analysis on campaigns and elections. If there's a ballot measure in California, a legislative election in Alabama, a mayoral election in Anchorage or a governor's race in Rhode Island, GOVERNING Politics probably is writing about it. We love everything about state and local politics, from polls and campaign ads to policy debates and demographic trends.
