Mark Binker of the Greensboro News-Record and WPTF News Managing Editor Bruce Ferrell join host Barlow Herget to discuss Governor Perdue's effort to educate more at-risk children in pre-k classes and the Governor as target of Republican name-calling.  Democrat Lt. Gov. Walter Dalton made it official, signing up to run for governor while Republican Pat McCrory does the same.  The panel also looks at fast-rising gas pump prices and politics and at this week's one-day attempt at Winter.
