Roy Cooper: the real deal?

So Roy Cooper is lining up to challenge Pat McCrory for the governorship in 2016. He’s the most popular politician in the state, which explains why the NC GOP is going all-out to attack him.

Yet he’s still a mystery to me. What does he believe in? Why is he just now speaking out on important issues when he passed up the chance on others in the past? Is he simply going with which way the wind is blowing? Or is he for real?

I know I was impressed watching him work a room but there’s more to leadership than shaking hands. I look forward to learning more about this man and his vision for North Carolina.
