This is too funny. The Wake County GOP got its clock thoroughly cleaned in the latest municipal elections. Now its hapless chair, Susan Bryant, is laying the blame on Obama and his legions of “paid volunteers”
Actually, the only paid volunteers I know of was on the GOP side. A few days before the election, I spotted a small sign at the intersection of Louisburg Road and Perry Creek Road, seeking paid political volunteers. The sign emphasized that the volunteers needed to be conservative.
Wake County Republican Party Chairwoman Susan Bryant blames “President Obama’s national organization” for last week’s election results that could lead to Democrats regaining control of the county school board.
“Make no mistake!” Bryant writes in a GOP newsletter this week. “President Obama’s national organization was very much involved in the recent elections, with particular emphasis on Ron Margiotta’s and Heather Losurdo’s campaigns. They hired ‘volunteers’ and spent tens of thousands on mailers cleverly disguised as coming from non-related groups.”

Update 4:20 PM: Looks like I’m not the only one who thinks this way. Sez one commenter on the N&O article:

This is the very reason why conservatives like me are getting disenfranchised with the Gop. Instead of going back to the drawing board and realizing they were beat fair and square on a issue, and start over, working harder to figure out an argument that will resonate with the voters, they choose the lazy alternative and point fingers and name calling. If the GOP wants to know why they lost, go grasp a mirror, then pull up yourself up by the boot straps.
