DEMSENATE
EXCLUSIVE
National Democratic Party leaders, who boast of their party’s inclusiveness, effectively ignored a wealthy U.S. Senate candidate in North Carolina who is openly gay. Instead, Democratic officials last month pushed a state legislator, who had just announced she was not running, to reverse her decision.
Former Wall Street investor Jim Neal announced his candidacy for the Democratic nomination for the U.S. Senate in North Carolina early in October, after months in which no Democrat stepped up to challenge Republican U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Dole.
Then Neal, 50, of Chapel Hill, telephoned U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer, of New York, who heads the national committee charged with recruiting Democratic Senate candidates.
Schumer didn’t call back, said Neal.
Less than a week after Neal’s announcement, N.C. Sen. Kay Hagan, 54, also a Democrat, said she was not running for the U.S. Senate.
Schumer, chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, called her and encouraged her to change her mind, Hagan said.

MISSING
Of the 13 adults and teenagers who have vanished this year in Charlotte, none have drawn the attention of the massive, public search for 24-year-old Kyle Fleischmann.
Authorities say Fleischmann's case is a window into a world many people never see: the painful process of finding vanished loved ones.
The search also illustrates some of the reasons why we hear about some cases but not others -- people who enlist the media immediately usually get commensurate attention, and the media and public tend to see some victims as more sympathetic and compelling than others.

SKIDROUGHT
N.C. ski resort operators say the state’s ongoing drought shouldn’t affect snow conditions this winter.
That’s because none of them rely on the wet stuff that falls from the sky, otherwise known as natural snow, no matter the year.
Snowmaking requires water, but several resorts say they use their own reservoirs fed by natural springs and melt water reclaimed off the mountains.
