The Daily Reflector Endorses Elaine Marshall
On May 4, Greenville voters will head to the polls for this year’s primary election, and The Daily Reflector will recommend candidates in competitive races prior to that vote. Today, the Reflector presents its recommendations for U.S. House and U.S. Senate.
With a highly polarized political atmosphere across the country in advance of this year’s election, many are predicting significant changes in the make-up of Congress when the votes are tallied. An unpopular health care bill, coupled with a troubling economic environment, could make reelection a daunting prospect for many incumbents come November.
For now, however, voters must find contentment in choosing party nominees for the fall showdown. For Pitt County voters, that means races in two House districts and the Senate primaries command immediate attention.
In the First Congressional District, incumbent U.S. Rep. G.K. Butterfield faces Chad Larkins, a businessman from Warren County. Since his election in 2004, Butterfield has been a strong advocate for his district, which is one of the poorest in the nation, and worked to bring light to the problems evident across eastern North Carolina. Democrats should see no reason to interrupt those efforts, and should nominate G.K. Butterfield with confidence.
The race for the Republican nomination in that district has drawn four challengers: John Carter of Wilson County, Jerry Grimes, Jim Miller and Ashley Woolard. Of those, Grimes and Woolard are running the most professional campaigns and appear to have a firm grasp of the issues facing the First District. And with his direct and relentless focus on creating new jobs for the East, Ashley Woolard — a Beaufort County insurance executive and East Carolina University graduate — seems the best choice.
Third Congressional District incumbent U.S. Rep. Walter B. Jones has served the district since 1994 with integrity and firm grounding. Though he faces a primary challenge from Tea Party activist Bob Cavanaugh and Craig Weber, who sought the seat as a Democrat in 2006 and 2008, Third District Republicans should see no reason to abandon Walter B. Jones at this time.
Republicans should similarly hold the line in the U.S. Senate race, where incumbent Richard Burr faces three primary challengers. Burr has defined himself as a classic conservative and should enjoy the enthusiastic support of his party for another term.
More complicated is the race for the Democratic nomination, where a field of six candidates must be winnowed to one. Though former state Sen. Cal Cunningham and attorney Ken Lewis have conducted ambitious campaigns, they cannot compete with the experience of N.C. Secretary of State Elaine Marshall, who Democratic voters should send to the general election.

elaine marshall hip hopTimes square car bomb
A crude car bomb of propane, gasoline and fireworks was discovered in a smoking Nissan Pathfinder in the heart of Times Square on Saturday evening, prompting the evacuation of thousands of tourists and theatergoers on a warm and busy night. Although the device had apparently started to detonate, there was no explosion, and early on Sunday the authorities were still seeking a suspect and motive.

Scare Reveals Other Side of Times Square (May 3, 2010)

Brendan McDermid/Reuters
A police officer in a bomb suit examined a Nissan Pathfinder sport utility vehicle.
“We are very lucky,” Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg said at a 2:15 a.m. press conference. “We avoided what could have been a very deadly event.”
A large swath of Midtown — from 43rd Street to 48th Street, and from Sixth to Eighth Avenues — was closed for much of the evening after the Pathfinder was discovered just off Broadway on 45th Street. Several theaters and stores, as well as the South Tower of the New York Marriott Marquis Hotel, were evacuated.
Mr. Bloomberg was joined by Gov. David A. Paterson, Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly and other officials at the early morning press conference to give a chronology of the vehicle’s discovery, its disarming, and the investigation that has been launched. The mayor and police commissioner had returned early from the annual White House correspondents’ dinner in Washington.
At 6:28 p.m., Mr. Kelly said, a video surveillance camera recorded what was believed to be the dark green Nissan S.U.V. driving west on 45th Street.
Moments later, a T-shirt vendor on the sidewalk saw smoke coming out of vents near the back seat of the S.U.V., which was now parked awkwardly at the curb with its engine running and its hazard lights on. The vendor called to a mounted police officer, the mayor said, who smelled gunpowder when he approached the S.U.V. and called for assistance. The police began evacuating Times Square, starting with businesses along Seventh Avenue, including a Foot Locker store and a McDonald’s.
Police officers from the emergency service unit and firefighters flooded the area and were troubled by the hazard lights and running engine, and by the fact that the S.U.V. was oddly angled in the street. At this point, a firefighter from Ladder 4 reported hearing several “pops” from within the vehicle. The police also learned that the Pathfinder had the wrong license plates on it.
Members of the Police Department’s bomb squad donned protective gear, broke the Pathfinder’s back windows and sent in a “robotic device” to “observe” it, said Deputy Commissioner Paul J. Browne, the police department’s chief spokesman.
Inside, they discovered three canisters of propane like those used for barbecue grills, two five-gallon cans of gasoline, consumer-grade fireworks — the apparent source of the “pops” — and two clocks with batteries, the mayor said. He said the device “looked amateurish.”
Mr. Browne said: “It appeared it was in the process of detonating, but it malfunctioned.”
Bomb squad officers also discovered a two-by-two-by-four-foot metal box — described as a “gun locker” — in the S.U.V. that was taken to the Police Department’s firing range at Rodman’s Neck in the Bronx to be destroyed, Mr. Kelly said. It was not immediately known what, if anything, was inside it.
Officials said they had no reports of anyone seen running from the vehicle. Mr. Kelly said police were scouring the area for any additional videotapes but noted that the S.U.V.’s windows were tinted, which could further hamper any efforts to identify those inside. Some of the surveillance cameras nearby were located in closed businesses, and the mayor made clear it would take time to review all available tapes.
“We have no idea who did this or why,” Mr. Bloomberg said.
Kevin B. Barry, a former supervisor in the New York Police Department bomb squad, said that if the device had functioned, “it would be more of an incendiary event” than an explosion.
The license plates on the Nissan were registered to another vehicle — a Ford pickup truck that was taken to a junkyard near Bridgeport, Conn., within the last two weeks, according to a law enforcement official. The previous owner of the Ford was interviewed Saturday night by the F.B.I., but it did not appear he was regarded as a suspect. Still, the junkyard was considered a primary target of the initial investigation.
The S.U.V.’s standard vehicle identification number had been removed, Mr. Bloomberg said, and investigators were scouring it to see if the number appeared elsewhere.
The White House said President Obama had been briefed on the episode and had pledged federal assistance in the investigation.
Times Square on a Saturday night is one of the busiest and most populated locations in the city, and has long been seen as a likely target for some kind of attack.
