Nesbitt brings 'hope' to the WNC clueless, but not many others...

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.

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...

Left

The only thing I can think of that's "left" about the aforementioned officials is the fact that they are mostly "left out" of progressive politics - by their own choosing.

Re: Senate Dems too liberal?

Isaac136 — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 14:24:53 -0500

I'm still waiting to see some sign that these folks are even fairly described as "leftist." I guess what passes for "left" in North Carolina is what some might call an inch right of center in true-"blue" states.

So at what point does a leftist finally become a "radical" to you, Isaac? When they're cutting the ribbon at the gulag?

Re: Nesbitt v. Clodfelter, for now

Isaac136 — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 13:54:04 -0500

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