GOP candidate for governor of North Carolina afraid to comment on Ryan budget plan
http://www.heraldonline.com/2012/08/12/4183366/nc-reaction-mixed-to-romneyryan.htmlRyan is expected to join Romney at a previously announced appearance Sunday morning at the NASCAR Technical Institute in Mooresville. The stop is one of three in the Romney campaign’s bus tour of the Tar Heel State.
Former Charlotte Mayor Pat McCrory called Ryan “an outstanding pick” and lauded the Wisconsin congressman’s “incredible intellect.”
But McCrory declined to comment on Ryan’s controversial budget plan, which would slash federal spending and remake Medicare by introducing a private option.
“I support the concept of taking care of our debt,” said McCrory, who plans to join Romney and Ryan on the bus tour. “(But) I’m not going to get into those specifics. I’m running for governor, not Congress.”
