Johnny Carter of Summerfield says he's running for Howard Coble's NC6 seat; via Binker, who reports that Carter is a Democrat, although I could not find a party affiliation on his website.
Carter wants nationalized healthcare and some other leftish stuff, but much of his agenda seems to fall outside party lines.
He says: "WITH THE 10 COMMANDMENTS BEING REMOVED FROM THE COURTHOUSE AND PRAYER LEGISLATED OUT OF THE SCHOOLS ALONG WITH THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE, A SPIRITUAL VACUUM HAS OCCURRED. THE OCCURRENCE WAS PLANNED." [all caps in original]
On terrorism: "With a nuclear attack(s) the U.S. economy would collapse. Then they would move to invade and conquer. This is a brilliant plan and it will work if not addressed.
Also: "IMMIGRATION INVASION: WHAT THEY DARE NOT TELL YOU."
Lord help us. They're coming out of the woodwork.
Again in this cycle, any Dems who might be considered as contenders are savvy enough to keep their powder dry and their money in their pockets until Coble decides he doesn't want the job anymore.

Mad web skills, not. Why can't whack job repub's hire decent talent?

For what it's worth, the FEC says he's a Dem too.

Love that 6th District ocean sunset.

I keep hearing Coble won't run for reelection in 2008, so maybe this is the right cycle for the Dems to use that powder.

Nope. Belews Lake before the drought. My bad.

11th Commandment: I shall not comment on that Web site.

It's good to know he's so concerned about our democracy. I wonder why he has never voted, though.

Wow. I'm actually speechless.

I dig how his links are in alphabetical order, thus, the home page link is actually seventh on the list.
