AP on NC gov race

Casts the race as a referendum on Easley.
"Whoever emerges from the May primary as the GOP nominee is likely be
an underdog against either Democratic candidate, Lt. Gov. Beverly
Perdue or State Treasurer Richard Moore. Democrats will have held the
Executive Mansion for 16 years when Easley leaves office in 2009, and
only two Republicans have been elected governor in the past century.
"There's also a wild card in seven-term Charlotte Mayor Pat McCrory, a
popular Republican who's considering leaping into the crowded GOP
field.
"The only announced Libertarian candidate is Duke University professor
Mike Munger."
