Dome: Former Raleigh mayor Meeker might run for governor in 2016

[NCarolinawoman]

5. Roy Cooper has long been considered the most popular politician in North Carolina.

Tremendous vote getter. Wide appeal in all regions of the state. Yeah, he's a moderate, but a moderate would be considered almost a lefty at this point. I have no doubt he would have vetoed almost all of those bills the legislature passed.

A friend of mine who is African-American told me that Roy swims a lot at the YMCA in Raleigh. Her granddaughter works there during the summers, and says he is really friendly and is well-liked by everyone there, staff included. Doesn't act like a big-shot.

Meeker is a good guy but doesn't project much of a personality. When I have a little more time I'll tell you a little more of what I know about him. Getting a bit sleepy now. LOL

Really like coming to this group and appreciate all the posts here!
