NC GOP Job Listing: "McCrory-Touter Wanted"

According to tea party blogger Brant Clifton, Claude Pope, Chair of the North Carolina Republican Party, has been shown the door by Governor McCrory because "he did not do nearly enough to tout McCrory and his agenda."

The Republican "establishment" is apparently pushing Craig Collins, who is tight with Congressman Patrick McHenry and currently holds the position as Chair of the 10th Congressional District, to take over the state party.

There will be rivals. Ultra-conservative ones.

"Top o' the World, Ma!"

Todd Poole, Virginia Foxx's former chief of staff, is taking over as executive director of the NC GOP, working under party chair Claude Pope.

Chairman Pope praised Poole for "his political instincts."

Those political instincts have been on full display in the past: here and here.

We Don't Have a Governor. We Have a Pope (Actually, Two of Them!)

Art Pope's cousin Claude Pope, who also happens to be chair of the North Carolina Republican Party, is trying to organize a mass demonstration at the General Assembly today, "Thankful Tuesday," for Republicans/Tea Partiers to show their starry-eyed appreciation to the General Assembly for destroying North Carolina's reputation for progressive-ism and sympathy for the poor and weak.

Because, as all these Republicans like to say about Moral Mondays, demonstrations at the General Assembly mean nothing.

We'll keep that in mind.
