Stand Up NC Hosts Vince Coakley to Standing Room Only Crowd

Steve Bennett Kicks Off the Evening

The Charles Mack Center in Mooresville was packed tonight with conservative voters and candidates coming out to see special guest Vince Coakley from WBT Radio.

By the end of the evening a standing room only crowd of nearly 150 was in attendance.  After roughly 20 minutes of opening remarks, Coakley began taking questions.   Energy was still high and the questions were flowing over 90 minutes into the evening.

Stand Up North Carolina Draws Republicans Looking to Bolster Conservative Credentials

Seen an Stand Up North Carolina in Mooresville on Wednesday night, Charlotte City Councilman Andy Dulin and Mayor Jeff Tarte of Cornelius.  Both are eyeing higher office and looking to burnish conservative cred in North Meck / South Iredell. 

Will it work?  Will their records appeal to the Tea Party crowd?
