Results of my interview with Mel Watt's opponent Paul Johnson

Sigh, my guy didn't win, Charlotte and Meck Co are now certifiably a Dem stronghold.


The following is reposted from another thread......

PLEASE listen to me.
#1 I am the NC state coordinator for the C4L
#2 I am the 2nd Vice chair of the G O P 12 th Dist.

I know whereof I speak about MY District. I'm sorry if I'm a little abrupt in this post, I've got a lot to do right now and I've had this argument uncountable times and I really want you guys to understand the full "truthiness" of what I say, so I'm typing at full speed and mostly off the cuff....bear with me my long time rpf friends....(LLS, Gunny, MC thanks for understanding)

Mel Watt will not and cannot be defeated. To run a candidate against him is to waste your money, time and efforts. The 12th is the SECOND MOST GERRYMANDERED DISTRICT IN THE WHOLE USA--SECOND ONLY TO ONE IN CHICAGO...Think about that for a minute.

Please do not send money to a candidate who just happens to be interested in running against Mel Watt. You will not be helping us at all. I beg you, please. You cannot overcome an almost 250,000 vote deficit with any normal campaign. The Dems won in Charlotte and Mecklenburg County yesterday, Mel Watt's banking center home turf.

I am not a defeatist, I am the highest ranking C4L member in the NC GOP establishment and I know what I'm talking about, OK??? Can we agree on this first???? If you don't agree with me on this there is no point going forth with my suggestions on WHAT WILL WORK.....

BJ sent out a letter today, his suggestions are good ones...if you haven't read it yet, please do and then we'll continue this conversation.

OK, there is a plan, other than letter writing and phone calls, that will work. Yes, we've been working on getting rid of Watt for years, but we are up against the wall here and our efforts are being redoubled. The deal is, the only way to unseat Watt, is to be in control of the redistricting of our state in 2011. The way to be in charge of the redistricting is to be the majority party in the NC House and NC Senate in 2010.

THIS IS THE ONLY WAY IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN FOLKS, PERIOD, END OF STORY. WE NEED TO WIN A MAJORITY IN THE NC HOUSE AND SENATE IN 2010.

If you want to help, it will take an organized team, money and time, just like any other good campaign. Going off half cocked and supporting people that do not have a snowball's chance in hell will not help the overall strategy that has been developed by our NC District and County Chairs. These men and women have over 200 years of combined experience in NC politics. They know where the bodies are buried in other words.

I have a list of targeted districts. I am not releasing the list, for obvious reasons, but there are a number of districts, where, with enough help, we can either unseat an incumbent or there has been no incumbent and therefore the Dem candidate is also a first timer.

There are only two House seats that are targeted in Dist 12, and no Senate seats. The other House seats are firmly held by incumbents. The rest of the targeted House seats are outside of our District, but are critical to the over all plan to take back the House. There are also Senate seats that are targeted.



I'm going to see how this post is received before I ask for specific help.
