The Carolina Stompers have a post up about Buncombe County Republican Party Chairman and N.C. Republican Party Vice ChairmanTim Johnson and the latest on the party workings. A sample:

Yes, he is leaving. Dr. Johnson will be closer to his VP job in Durham. … The BCGOP is in the best shape it has ever been because of Johnson. The BCGOP now communicates with it’s people. It dropped the dead wood that slowed the party down and put new people that “want to work” instead of wine. It is becoming what I always wanted it to be – a family.

 

But the bottom line is money and image. With Johnson now in a state position, I think you will see more money coming from the state party to county Republicans. The image thing is genuine, (unlike the Dems), it’s just going to take some money to get it out there.

 

As for Johnson’s successor – It will be the BCGOP vice chair until the next convention. He has a lot of support to help him and is a good man.
