Cooper may run for North Carolina Governor

For you Triana.

RALEIGH, N.C. -
North Carolina attorney general Roy Cooper said Thursday that he is weighing a run for governor, becoming the second prominent Democrat in two days to say he is looking at a run against Republican Gov. Pat McCrory.

On Wednesday, former Raleigh mayor Charles Meeker said he was looking at running against McCrory in 2016.

"I am concerned about where we are headed in our state. I am concerned about that direction," Cooper said, when asked directly if he would run. "I want to be a part of that change.

"It's certainly too early to make any formal announcements but I want to be part of moving North Carolina forward and moving in the right direction."

I think he'd make a great NC governor.
