The N&R acknowledges that Billy's in the race. All in all, it's a great article. A couple of things bugged me though. First, they mention Billy's "popular blog" in the story, but don't give the address so people can check it out. That alone could go so much farther than his one political sign.
It's kinda like one's blog being quoted in the N&O, while the blog-address is withheld.
What is it with these newspapers? You'd think they were afraid or something.
As for the, "Yeah, he won't win" bit. Who says?

I saw the article and was surprised by it. I didn't get to read the entire colunm so I missed the line you quoted. I wonder what we can do to help?
Dale, in terms of helping me, it's very simple - and it's the one thing I came to the blogopshere for . . . now almost three years ago.
As with the David Wray situation in GSO (where it's clear some people running government were not playing fair), the blogosphere could raise hell on my behalf. But that's not going to happen. Because the John Robinsons and Edward Cones, Roch Smiths, and Sue Polinskis of this so-called "community" are too self-righteous, self-absorbed and smug to admit that they've been very, very wrong.
They've been ignoring me for a long time . . . hoping I'd give up and just go away.
It just makes me angrier and more determined to rub their noses in a story and a life they've dismissed as "irrelevant" . . . as they've done to so many others who don't swing their way politically.
If it's not "batshit crazy", it's "mouth-breathers" and "sister-diddlers". Then they want to throw a party and have every one come on the pretense of "community". This crew makes me sick.
What it's probably going to take is for me to file a lawsuit against the state of North Carolina. Then I expect at least one newspaper (not the N&R) will be all over the story.
Too bad, my local newspapers sold me (and the public who paid for the party) out long ago.
