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…

Don’t Rule Out A Hillary/Bernie Ticket
If Democrats were smart (especially on social media) we’d be wise to start talking about a Hillary/Bernie ticket or vice versa – and stop cutting down both of them in 140 characters or less. *Setting the stage* History tells us that in this day and time, it’s hard for one person – who is essentially…

$1.1 Trillion Spending Bill Puts Goverment Back in the Intel Business
So, the House passed the 2016 Omnibus Spending Bill in the middle of the night (316-113) this past Friday.

Retired Marine turned NC political power broker has the NCDP running scared
When Marshall Adame (a former Marine and retired Diplomat who worked with the State Department in Iraq) was elected Chair of the North Carolina Democratic Hispanic Caucus – nobody thought much about it.

Don’t you just hate it when poor people wear nice stuff?
Picture this: an overweight woman standing in line in front of you at the grocery store checkout. When she gets to the cashier, she pulls out an EBT card from her $750 dollar Coach bag. Burns you up doesn’t it? Or how about a guy wearing a Ralph Lauren purple label shirt that is usually…

What Could Possibly Go Wrong With Hillary’s Campaign
Yesterday, as Vice President Joe Biden made his announcement in the Rose Garden, I watched Facebook weigh in and it was scary. I’ve often said “Facebook doesn’t vote” so I’m not putting too much stock in what I read. But, I find a few things disturbing. There are a lot of groups on Facebook supporting…

The Marshall Plan for the NCDP
A few weeks ago, Marshall Adame won Chair of the North Carolina Democratic Party Hispanic Caucus. By many accounts that caucus had been stagnant for the past two years as interest waned and participation slowed. Marshall wants to change that, and he has an ambitious plan.
