RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — North Carolina Gov. Beverly Perdue said Friday that federal authorities are now investigating her 2008 campaign for governor, opening up another legal inquiry for a candidacy dogged by unreported airplane flights.

Perdue said in a statement issued through a campaign spokesman that she is proud of her record.

"As a citizen, a candidate for public office, and an elected official of this state, I have tried my best to abide by all applicable laws, and my administration has been one of the most open in history," Perdue said. She said it would be inappropriate to make any additional comments about the probe.

North Carolina's State Bureau of Investigation has already opened its own probe into Perdue after the district attorney in Wake County said he had lingering questions about her campaign's airplane flights. A spokeswoman for U.S. Attorney George Holding did not immediately return a call seeking comment.

1. I predict that by November 2012, every Dem holding national office

or governor will be investigated. The Repukes are evil, vicious sociopaths who know that they can't win ANY fair fights, so they will do everything in their power to distract Americans from their own crimes

2. George Holding is a leftover BushCo dead-ender. It's really time for him to step down

and let the President appoint a replacement.
