To RNC Chairman Michael Steele: “Why Greensboro?”
March 9, 2010 – 1:25 am
I was able to chat with RNC Chairman Michael Steele after the press conference on Monday.
I asked “Why Greensboro?” in reference to Greensboro being chosen as one of five cities to begin airing RNC ads. Steele stated Greensboro was chosen as a battleground to get North Carolina back in the GOP column. I explained the recent municipal election results after the local GOP became more involved and he said, “that’s exactly what I’m talking about”.
Tom Fetzer, NC GOP Chairman, aroused laughter from the crowd as he introduced Trudy Wade as “the candidate that scared Katie Dorsett off the ballot”. On a side note: at a candidate’s forum in High Point Monday night another candidate dropped out of the race after hearing Wade’s three minute opening introduction to the crowd.
More photos of the press conference should be on my facebook page on Tuesday.
