While North Carolina Republicans have been wrapped up in the four-way contest for our state chairman that was finally settled today, the North Carolina Democrats have also been going about the business of electing a state chairman.

According to the blog NCDP Politics,  our friends down Hillsborough Street will hold their big election on January 26th.

The blogger clearly supports candidate David Parker, who is not supported by former chairman Jerry Meeks. Meeks’ pick is Bill Faison.  Apparently Parker and Meeks have a long standing grudge.

KCC cannot weigh into this fight as she does have first hand information, but it is interesting to follow, as the parties work so much alike.  They may have slightly different terminologies but similar organizational structures.

However, the blogger at NCDP Politics does have the inside track.  Watch that race from his site.  Also BlueNC comments on it a great deal.

Editor’s Notes:  If you decide to follow the BlueNC link or want to check out their home page, beware.  Our loyal opposition loves to complain about the new leadership (i.e. Republicans) and are already fussing about redistricting.

One of their complaints appears to be “winners get to govern”.    That is democracy.  Democrats should know.  They have “governed” North Carolina’s General Assembly since Reconstruction.

Voters have grown tired of it and have handed the reins to another party to see how that goes.  They received nearly 150 years in leadership.  We assume they thought they would always have it and honestly, so did KCC.

Republicans finally have our chance so let’s not blow it.  Your blogger never thought she would live to see the day that the GOP took control of the state legislature.  That was, for her, the very best part of the Nov 2010 elections!
