Priorities
Just to be clear, in case anyone wondered, March Madness does indeed trump presidential politics in NC.
Per NBC/NJ's Carrie Dann:
Yeah, yeah, local press in the Tar Heel State has gone ga-ga over the notion that it will be courted by presidential hopefuls, but don't bother them when the game is on. News of Bill Clinton's visit today is buried under headlines about the win that Duke eeked out last night. The gubernatorial candidates have all submitted their top tourney picks to political blogs. But, as a local blogger points out, people may be peeved if the former president's hooplah affects their game-watching needs. "The Tar Heels are scheduled to play in Raleigh a little after 7. If your motorcade stops traffic on I-40 and keeps people from getting to the game on time, you could blow this state for your wife just like you did when you ran your mouth in South Carolina."

Yikes! I hate to be a spelling nazi, but, really, did Duke "eek"? Perhaps. But shouldn't it be "eke?" As in "eked out"?
Or was it a pun? Oh, I get it!. Nm.
