Scott Huffman – America must limit its use of fossil fuels. It…
Huffman ran for Congress in the North Carolina Democratic primary against two opponents in the state’s 8th Congressional District. He was able to come in second, beating out an opponent who outraised him 4:1. In the end, I guess money does rule the day. The winner raised over $300K (by taking large sums from PACs…

Hats off to the DSCC for losing another North Carolina election
Over the last several months it’s been no secret that Deborah Ross was the favored child of the NCDP to run against Richard Burr. Even the Chair of the NCDP, Patsy Keever, has been working behind the scenes to help Ross and even sponsored a private fundraiser for her. But, yesterday, the Democratic Senatorial…

Politics as usual within the NCDP :: Minority candidates Chris Rey and Ken Spaulding
Democratic leaders within the NCDP are fundraising and ‘backdoor endorsing’ candidates during this primary election which is against their own Democratic bylaws. The first time I met Ken Spaulding was at an African-American conference in eastern North Carolina. Spaulding had his wife and children seated at a table across from me. During a break…

Maybe I’m too old for politics. Back in my day a good Democrat would put the Party first.
Back in my day – there were insiders and outsiders. In the #NCDP, you worked your way up – usually at the precinct level unless you had money or name recognition. Sometimes, it took years to get to the district level. It wasn’t magic – if you believed in the ideals of the Democratic Party…

NCDP: Will The SEC Vote For A Problem Solver or A Cheerleader? The Chair is Too Important to Be A “Good ‘ol Boy” Post—It Should Be Like A Job Interview.
A recent post by Matt Hughes in Blue NC smacks to the heart of the NCDP issue. Will the SEC vote for a cheerleader or a problem solver as their next Chair. Frankly, I think we’ve seen too many cheerleaders, both within the NCDP and as candidates running for office. I’d be more inclined to…

While I’m getting so much love from the SEC (North Carolina Democratic Party) this morning, we should get some more information out there. Most Dems know some of this story, but let’s put the pieces together. STOP: Some of the information in this report contains information during the time Mr. Perry Woods worked/consulted with and…

Despite what you may think, the sun is rising for Democrats in North Carolina and the NCDP
It’s only natural that NC Dems would finger point over the Hagan loss. And, that’s okay— but, the fact is, we made some tremendous gains in a sea of red. Mike Stone (Sanford, Lee County) is perhaps the most vocal in advocating fracking in NC—he lost. The NCDP filed complaints against Walker (Congress), Americans for…

How NC Dems Are Going Down In Flames—And Why It Could Cost Randy Voller His Job
To spin this election cycle for Democrats, we need someone like Baghdad Bob. He was the Iraqi Information Minister for Saddam Hussein during Desert Storm. Journalists loved this guy. When U.S. forces were entering Baghdad, during the final push of the 100 day war—Baghdad Bob held a press conference and said, “There really is nothing…
