This article is based on an article posted at The Charlotte Observer<\/a> yesterday and an article posted at The Daily Haymaker<\/a> today. Both articles have to do with the power struggle currently going on within the North Carolina Republican Party<\/a>. The power struggle began last year when Hasan Harnett was elected to chair the North Carolina Republican Party. He was the choice of the grass roots<\/a>, but not of the establishment. Since his election, the establishment has attempted to strip him of power and now they are attempting to unseat him.<\/p>\n

In September, I reported<\/a> on the efforts of the establishment Republicans to set up a separate fundraising entity–essentially a shadow party. The grass roots effort to fight back were stopped by the Central Committee postponing any negative consequences until they could gather the legislators who supported them to cast votes in support of the shadow party.<\/p>\n

The Charlotte Observer reports:<\/p>\n

Harnett has been under fire since the state party\u2019s Central Committee voted Sunday to censure <\/a>him. Its resolution of no confidence included a litany of eight offenses \u201cdeemed harmful to the North Carolina Republican Party.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Among other things, they included a dispute over the cost of attending the state convention.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now, less than a year after Harnett was elected the state party\u2019s first African-American chairman <\/a>with support from grass-roots activists, some party leaders are trying to oust him before the convention.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But Harnett plans to stay.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Daily Haymaker reports:<\/p>\n

The content of the text screenshots we received indicate that executive director Dallas Woodhouse<\/a> is much more than an innocent bystander in the whole effort to fire party chairman<\/a> Hasan Harnett:<\/strong><\/p>\n

…The legislators are WHO saved the necks of David Lewis<\/a> and Dallas the last go-around. \u00a0Will our electeds once AGAIN ride to the rescue of cronyism, pettiness, and corruption? \u00a0We\u2019ll see.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

As you read this stuff, remember that this organization is completely controlled by the McCrory<\/a> for Governor campaign organization. \u00a0The governor COULD step in and calm this down IF he wanted to. \u00a0His silence speaks volumes.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is time for the Republican Party Central Committee to listen to the people who generally vote Republican. These are the people who elected Hasan Harnett. I am sorry that the Central Committee’s little noses are out of joint because they do not control the chairmanship, but it is time for them to work with the elected leader. If they choose not to work with Hasan Harnett, many North Carolina<\/a> Republicans will leave the party, and ultimately, the Republicans may lose the general election in November. The childish moves on the part of the Central Committee benefit no one.<\/p>\n
