Havelock Scoop

Havelock voters want to send Barack Obama to the White House, Beverly Perdue to the governor’s mansion and Walter Jones to the Capitol, according to unofficial results from tonight’s primary.

Obama beat Democratic rival Hillary Clinton by more than 100 votes in Havelock’s two precincts, and New Bern native Perdue spanked Richard Moore by a wide margin. Despite a groundswell of conservative support, Republican challenger Joe McLaughlin was edged out by the incumbent Jones.

News services already are projecting that Obama will win North Carolina’s Democratic primary. Check the Havelock News online for late-breaking results tonight — Ken and I will be in the office until we have all the Havelock-area numbers.
