McCrory May Be Too Unscripted

North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory (R) “refuses to follow the political script. He scoffs at politicians who use teleprompters. He casts aside speeches his aides write. It’s all part of the image McCrory wants to project as the outsider,” the Raleigh News and Observer reports.

“But McCrory’s improvisational approach has risks. At least a dozen times in his first 10 months as governor, McCrory’s remarks have sparked controversies. McCrory is prone to misspeaking. He generalizes in a way that can insult key constituencies. And he mispronounces the names of even his closest aides.”
