Scott Mooneyham of the News & Observer opines that North Carolina state Treasurer Richard Moore has just about one more month in which to catch fire in the May primary race against Lt. Gov. Beverly Perdue in the Democratic gubernatorial primary. He says Perdue has run "a fairly flawless frontrunner campaign."

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.
