Are all of NC's Dem Con leaders from down East?
* Mike Easley was born in eastern North Carolina and before his election
as governor was district attorney for the Down East counties of Bladen,
Brunswick and Columbus. He lives in the coastal city of Southport.
* Beverly Perdue's home is in New Bern, a seaport that was the royal
capital during the colonial period. She represented that area in the
legislature before her election as lieutenant governor.
* Marc Basnight, the Senate president pro tem, was born in Manteo -- as
far east as you can go in North Carolina without getting your feet wet
-- and represents that area in the Senate.
