Posts: 54 BlueNC: Is Rachel Lea Hunter MIA?
Lefty blog, BlueNC.com, has finally decided to comment on the latest shenanigans of NC Supreme Court candidate Rachel Lea Hunter and Connie Mack Berry, Jr.
Apparently there is strong suspicion that Hunter is no longer in control of her campaign and has not been for quite some time.
Someone on BlueNC wrote:

Connie Mack Berry, Jr. has indeed posted on edcone.com and bluenc.com (on another thread) that Rachel Lea Hunter's brain tumor (that was operated on last year) has returned. It is rumored that due to her illness, she no longer has the facilities to deal with her campaign on a day-to-day basis.
It is very likely that Connie Mack Berry, Jr., for all practical purposes, IS Rachel Lea Hunter these days. Most certainly in recent months, Rachel Lea Hunter's personality has undergone a severe change that has caused her campaign to nose-dive.

Dean Smith Asks Candidate To Remove Endorsement From Web Site

RALEIGH, N.C. -- Despite a message posted on her campaign Web site, former North Carolina basketball coach Dean Smith said Monday he has not endorsed lawyer Rachel Lea Hunter for the state Supreme Court. "I never knew her in my life," Smith said. "I assume I'll vote, but I don't know who I'll vote for."

Jerry Meek recommends withholding endorsement:
Rachel Hunter and Vernon Robinson
I've been off showing my editor around the Raleigh beat and working
on a weekend story for most of today. So I almost blew out of here
without a post today, but then an e-mail came my way from N.C. Democratic Party
Chairman Jerry Meek. The money lines:
Today, Rachel Lea Hunter compared Vernon Robinson to a slave in a mass email
and on her website. In response, North Carolina Democratic Party Chair Jerry Meek
made this statement:
“Vernon Robinson is an embarrassment to himself and to the many well-meaning people o
f both parties who hear the call to public service and run for office.
Between now and November, he will run his campaign of sleaze and I am confident
that voters will again reject him. However, today Rachel Lea Hunter crossed the line.
Her characterization of Robinson as a ‘slave’ was reprehensible and I call on
her to apologize. This racial epithet has no place in any political dialogue,
even directed towards someone as contemptible as Vernon Robinson.”
“Consequently, I am announcing today that I will recommend that the
State Democratic Party leadership withhold any endorsement in the
Supreme Court seat that Rachel Lea Hunter is seeking.
Oh no, she didn’t...did she? Well, yes she did.....
