He's ascending today? Is there a particular prayer that goes with that? I, for one, am glad to see Nesbitt take on this new role. He's a smart, capable, dedicated public servant and will do a good job.

Nesbitt is another leftie liberal moonbat.Just what NC needs now.His idea of creating jobs is raising taxes.He believes the global warming fear mongering.etc.The full Monty.

"Hard work, perseverance and positive attitude will be rewarded. And if that doesn't work, a nice crisp $20 couldn't hurt."

At least the twenty bucks is reasonable. Seems like state govenment payoffs cost a little more than that. I don't mind the payoffs but couldn't we regulate them. If the state would follow the suggestions of these kids then the price of payoffs would come down! We are in a recession for heaven's sake! Consult these children for an appropriate amount. Show some mercy during these tough economic times.

P.S. You know of course that "hard work, perseverance and positive attitude" does not always work in politics and government. Keep a roll of those crisp $20 handy just in case.

He even looks "brusque" in his photo, no smile at all?

Go Nesbitt!!!!

His leadership will shake things up -- which is a good thing, long overdue.

Dome --

I can't recall, but isn't Nesbitt a Liston Ramsey protege?

Funny how the Democrat party bosses come full circle; maybe Basnight should start grooming a member of the Gardner family to complete the picture.

Go Nesbitt.

A lot in the Clodfelter camp happens too fast.

Clodfelter said the talk about who gets the majority leader's post is happening too fast.

Being passed over while the world passes you by seems about par for the course, doesn't it?

Better luck next decade. Yup, this was pretty much your chance.

Oops.

Not Clodfelter.

I'd sooner go to one of his $20,000 bar party reverse fundraisers in Charlotte because he's celebrating not having an opponent than get him one mile closer to Raleigh.

Read into that what it is, and please investigate, but hell no. Nowhere near power. He makes bad choices in staff with insatiable appetites and has never met a tab he considers unreasonable; so no Raleigh, please, please, please. No. I'd just as soon not turn this state RED by sending his inept behind to real power. Someone might notice Carowinds is burning, Charlotte is part of this state and Clodfelter's name starts with Clod.

Virginia Foxx has an impressive campaign chest, Iassac...not unlike the 'crackkk football player...

Nesbitt can probably call in some big money favoritism from NC BlueCrossBlueShield to put him into the perch, but the bow tie lobby might get Clods in as he seems to be a royal lieberal elitist...

I bet you're proud of Virginia Foxx, cmitchz.

Interesting. As if it needed to be any more obvious that the Democratic Party has been taken over by the liberal-left fringe.
