Tom Fetzer has racked up the endorsements.
The former Raleigh mayor has steadily unrolled a series of endorsements from conservative politicians and groups in his campaign for chairman of the N.C. Republican Party.
Always known as a solid campaigner, he's also dribbled them out in e-mails to supporters and on his Web site, a strategy to boost their visibility.
Here's a running list of his endorsements:
* Fred Smith, 2008 gubernatorial candidate and former state senator.
* Patrick Ballantine, 2004 gubernatorial nominee and former Republican Senate leader.
* Richard Vinroot, 2000 gubernatorial nominee and former Charlotte mayor.
* The state chapter of the Eagle Forum, a conservative activist group founded by Phyllis Schlafly.
Former Lee County Commissioner Chad Adams, Guilford County business owner Marcus Kindley and retired Navy veteran Bill Randle are also running.

It will be interesting to see if this thread spawns the same sort of thoughtful discourse regarding the future of the NCGOP that similar threads on Gary Pearce and Carter Wrenn's blog have generated.
It is really good to see that most Republican's are examining in such a thoughtful, careful and reasoned manner how best to make the party competitive in North Carolina.
If you've missed it you can catch up on the discussion here and here.
