RALEIGH -- The Democrat who lost to Beverly Perdue in the 2008 primary for North Carolina governor says he's considering whether to run this year now that Perdue has announced she won't seek re-election.

Former State Treasurer Richard Moore told The Associated Press on Thursday that many people have contacted him asking him to get back into politics and try again for governor.
