So, I discovered this week that according to the North Carolina Constitution, I will not have lived in my current NC Senate district long enough by November 3, 2008, to be eligible to run for that Senate seat. I moved over New Years, but to be eligible I would have needed to live in the district for a full year prior to the election day itself. Because my party is broke after trying to get on the ballot to start with, we don’t have money to front for our many candidates, and each candidate is doing his own fund-raising or personal contributions to pay for his filing fees… and I don’t have the personal funds or the time to raise them to get on the ballot for an office for which I *am* eligible.
So… the Watson campaign is on a two-year delay while I throw my GoLiberty.net efforts behind our gubernatorial candidate, Mike Munger. Look for the Watson campaign to revive in 2010!
