I have met Vinroot several times and I am hard pressed to find a single nice thing to say about him. And I wouldnt be surprised if he was ever elected Governor, that he would attempt to move the state capital to Charlotte.

He was scheduled on many occasions to speak to state and county young republican events and would flat out refuse to come or would schedule an appearence only to cancel to attend a fundraiser. On on the rare occasions that he did agree to come and actually came, he needed directions on how to get to Raleigh!

John Hood was talking on NC Spin this weekend that Vinroot still had the fire in the belly so don't count him out, but frankly I think he's got the loser label for good.

Snyder's not bad, but he's always spouting off about the Founding Fathers and whatnot, which comes across to a lot of people as "Nutball". And while he's conservative, I agree that he's never proven himself in the public square so it's hard to know what you're going to get with him.

I will say that he's been relatively gracious and realistic about White House involvement in the primaries.

So if y'all don't like 'Root too much, you probably don't like Mayor Pat either? Personally I'd like him to run for mayor again if only to keep Parks Helms OUT.

That made me really, really LOL. And I agree.
