The Undead Elect the Ungay to Lead Them
It's Tom Fetzer for chair of the Republican Party of North Carolina.According to Katy's Conservative Corner:
Party unity has been achieved. A big relief has filled the room and your blogger is especially happy. Not necessarily at the outcome, though that did go in her favor, but over the fact that this long, often dirty, race is over. We've all said things we've regretted and its thankfully time to move forward and get on with the job of electing Republicans!
Then immediately noting that many of the supporters of Fetzer's chief rival, Pope Foundation minion Chad Adams, were taking their defeat hard:
Sadly, many Adams delegates are filing out.
Perhaps they weren't quite as sad for saying things they regretted. We dunno.

The New Republican Party Chair
As predicted down-column, it's Michael Steele on the 6th ballot.Came down to a contest between Steele and South Carolina's Katon Dawson, who was apparently the favorite of the party's most conservative elements.
One North Carolina conservative sounds unhappy at the prospect of Michael Steele, whom she labels a "squishy moderate" and then a "main street Republican" (apparently, that's a bad thing) but then backpedals and says she's happy happy happy to have any new chair of the Mummy Party.
Looks like a lot of the same old dust to us. But time will tell, as it always does with mummies.

Big Gardening Chore for the NC GOP
Katy at Katy's Conservative Corner has the fix for the North Carolina Republican Party's woes: root out moderate Republicans.And here we were worried that they might go all sane and stuff.
(Yes, we realize Katy's prescription is a month old. We must have missed it at the time and thank PPP for bringing it to the top of the discard pile.)
Good luck to Katy and her fellow Republican conservatives on that uprooting project! We have extra shovels, if that helps.

Praise for Jerry Meek From an Unlikely Source
Katy at Katy's Conservative Corner goes on at some length about the sort of leader the NC GOP needs now to lead it out of this current wilderness. By way of comparison, she points at NC Democratic Party Chair Jerry Meek (stepping down next month after two successful terms in office) as the model for what she wants to see in Republican HDQs:
Katy, incidentally, rejects for Chair any politician who intends to run for office in the future. That pretty much narrows the field significantly.
Your blogger hopes for a State Chairman like the former State Democrat Chairman, Jerry Meek. Despite his surname, he went after our party tooth and nail and he never gave an inch. He had daily e-mails that went out to anyone who wanted to subscribe, explaining the issues in an easy-to-understand format. He also supported his candidates and backed them up, day after day.
Your blogger most admires how Meek used technology to organize his troops and get out the vote....
