A Democratic lawmaker defeated in last year’s primaries is joining the staff of North Carolina’s Republican House speaker. Former Asheville Rep. Bruce Goforth will become an adviser to Speaker Thom Tillis on jobs and economic issues. His first day will be Friday. He’ll make $60,000 a year.

Goforth lost to now N.C. Rep. Patsy Keever in the Democratic primaries last year. He is now registered as unaffiliated.

Looks like Goforth is willing to "change his stripes" to stay on the public payroll …. I'll bet when 2012 rolls around he will be a different stripe once again!
