Bully Pulpit

The term "bully pulpit" stems from President Theodore Roosevelt's reference to the White House as a "bully pulpit," meaning a terrific platform from which to persuasively advocate an agenda. Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

NC Gov Bev Perdue (D) running for reelection, spokesman says

(newsobserver.com) - Gov. Bev Perdue is running for reelection.

After Dome posted a copy of an invitation to a fundraiser in Charlotte next week that said "Governor Perdue 2012," campaign spokesman Marc Farinella confirmed that the Democrat "has every intention" of seeking a second term.

"Governor Perdue has every intention of running for re-election in 2012 but a formal announcement will wait until later," Farinella said in an e-mail. "At present, she is focusing on helping the private sector create and preserve jobs, strengthening our system of education, and reforming government."
