Chad AdamsChad Adams is running for chairman of the N.C. Republican Party.

"I absolutely am," he said. "Mentally, I decided a few weeks ago, but we had to work through some of the logistics."

He said he would work to restore the trust of grassroots activists who have moved away from the party, in part by working as a full-time chairman.

A former Lee County commissioner, Adams works as development vice president for the John Locke Foundation. He said he will take leave over the next week and would step down entirely if he wins at the Republican convention in June.

"We've got to make it exciting to be a Republican again," he said. "The issues still win, even when our candidates are languishing."

He's also launched a Web site for the campaign. 

Guilford County business owner Marcus Kindley, former state Sen. Woody White and Wake County GOP chairman David Robinson are also running for the post.

This best put Adams running for Chair: I'm glad the Puppet Junior continue spewing forth this kind of nonsense. Because with every lame "report" and every instance of intellectual dishonesty, he solidifies his reputation as ideologues, leftovers from the heyday of the Party of Greed. Keep it coming, Puppet Junior. You're ever-so-surely working your way toward irrelevance.

Why would Adams have to be "mentally" ready? Lord, here he is the "King" and he, and he alone, will make the party. Glory be the world, he has arrived. The "King" has arrived and will save the world. Really, Adams does not have what it takes, simply said, he is a wantbe. He is not capable other then being a performer "onstage". How many youtube video's of yourself does he need? Too many other qualified candidates to consider and NC is not that hard up to want Chad Adams.

So should we surmise from tangoz and Earnest T. that they support Adams as their new WarCraft King or just that they hate stuff, drink and say "NO" alot?

I guess it is exciting when you have your Speaker of the State House in federal prison. What party was he again. And I won't go into former Agri. sec, couple state reps, and even one of the state reps son who was a judge.

Was it ever exciting to be a Republican?

The Wilderness is an exciting place.

You can scream "NO" to everything at the top of your lungs and nobody calls the cops on your crazy ass simply because they can't hear you.

Was it ever exciting to be a Republican? Maybe around the time of the Reagan tax increase of 1982, "the largest peacetime tax increase in American history," according to conservative economist Bruce Bartlett. That was probably pretty exciting!
