CHARLOTTE — Just a couple of months ago, Charlotte was enjoying its time in the spotlight, host of a Democratic National Convention that gave the city’s profile a national and international boost. The latest news out of the New South state is just as prominent but in another category altogether.
It involves reporters staking out the upscale Dilworth neighborhood, craving a sighting of resident Paula Broadwell and quizzing acquaintances on every detail in the life of the woman who sent the e-mails that prompted the investigation that ended the career of CIA Director David Petraeus. Already, The Daily Beast has pointed out Broadwell’s proximity in distance and notoriety to Rielle Hunter, the mother of John Edwards’s youngest daughter.
