Gay judge to run for Helms’ Senate seat

North Carolina Superior Court Judge Ray Warren, a former Helms staffer and Republican state senator, who came out of the closet and became a Democrat, is considering a bid for the seat currently held by the retiring “crap-ocrat” Jesse Helms. This would be so cool I would be willing to move to North Carolina. (Of course they do have lots of good tech jobs there…) Great quote from Warren:

“We’re all entitled to grow up,” Warren said Monday. “George (W.) Bush had his problems with alcohol. I was a Republican. We both got over it.”
