Carter is a Republican. Gary is a Democrat.

They met in 1984, during the epic U.S. Senate battle between Jesse Helms and Jim Hunt. Carter worked for Helms and Gary, for Hunt.

Years later, they became friends. They even worked together on some nonpolitical clients.

They enjoy talking about politics. So they started this blog in 2005.

They’re still talking. And they invite you to join the conversation.

Free Cars

By Carter Wrenn 2009-04-07

I thought the Democrats had ‘Ethics Reformed’ pay to play out of existence – but it turns out I was wrong. For instance, it seems automobile dealers (at least some of them) like bestowing cars on Democrats – so former Governor Easley’s been driving a car free, courtesy of a dealership, and so has Mrs.…
