THIS LISTING:
OFFERING ANOTHER SUPER POLITICAL CAMPAIGN PINBACK BUTTON FROM THE ELECTION OF FORMER NORTH CAROLINA GOVERNOR ROBERT "BOB" SCOTT, SEEKING A COMEBACK TO THE STATEHOUSE AGAINST INCUMBENT GOVERNOR JIM HUNT
UNTIL LAST YEAR, I HAD NEVER SEEN THIS BUTTON IN 36 YEARS COLLECTING NORTH CAROLINA STATE AND LOCALS...STARTED COLLECTING A FEW YEARS BEFORE THIS ONE WAS ISSUED...
1980 WAS MY 'FIRST TIME VOTER' YEAR AND BOB SCOTT, FORMER 1-TERM GOVERNOR AND SON OF ANOTHER GOVERNOR, KERR SCOTT, WAS SEEKING A COMEBACK TO THE GOVERNORSHIP AFTER LEAVING OFFICE IN 1973.
THERE WAS ONE LITTLE PROBLEM THOUGH--A FELLA NAMED JIM HUNT WAS JUST WINDING UP HIS FIRST TERM AS GOVERNOR AND WAS ELIGIBLE TO SEEK A 2ND CONSECUTIVE TERM, THE 1ST TIME IN NC HISTORY A GOVERNOR WAS ALLOWED SUCCESSION IN OFFICE.
SCOTT CHALLENGED HUNT BUT LOST.
THERE ARE NOT MANY OF THESE TO BE FOUND ANYWHERE ANYMORE...HERE'S YOUR CHANCE...
Robert Walter "Bob" Scott
(June 13, 1929 – January 23, 2009) was the 67th Governor of the state of North Carolina from 1969 to 1973. He was born in Haw River, North Carolina.
The son of North Carolina Governor W. Kerr Scott, and grandson and nephew of state legislators, Scott was a dairy farmer before being elected to the post of lieutenant governor in 1964 and that of governor in 1968. In May 1969, during his term as governor, racial violence at North Carolina Agricultural & Technical State University, a predominantly black campus in Greensboro, resulted in one student death, and the injury of a National Guardsman, five Greensboro police officers and two students.
Constitutionally barred from seeking another term, he later served as co-chairman of the Appalachian Regional Commission and as President of the North Carolina Community College System, from 1983 until 1995. Scott unsuccessfully ran for governor in 1980, losing in the Democratic primary.
His daughter, Meg Scott Phipps, was elected North Carolina's commissioner of agriculture in 2001.

MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL...
He Leadeth Me
In pastures green?
Not always; sometimes He
who knoweth best, in kindness leadeth me
In many ways where heavy shadows be.
Out of the sunshine warm and soft and bright...
Out of the sunshine into the darkest night,
I oft would faint with sorrow and affright,
Only for this...I know He holds my hand;
so whether in the green or desert land
I trust although I may not understand.
And by still waters?
No, not always so;
Ofttimes the heavy tempests round me blow,
And o'er my soul the waters and billows go.
But when the storms beat loudest and I cry
aloud for help, the Master standeth by
And whispers to my soul, "Lo, it is I."
Above the tempest wild I hear Him say,
Beyond this darkness lies a perfect day.
In every path of thine I lead the way.
So whether on the hilltops high and fair
I dwell, or in the sunless valleys where
The shadows lie...what matters?  He is there.
And more than this, where'er the pathway lead
He gives to me no helpless broken reed,
But His own hand, sufficient for my need.
So where He leads me, I can safely go,
And in the blest hereafter I shall know
Why in His wisdom, He hath led me so.
