GOP: The Challenge and the Opportunity
December 2, 2010 - by
Transitions are when winners strive to show they’re ready to take over.
As Senator Richard Stevens of Cary, co-chairman of the Senate transition team, told the N&O, “The goal is to be ready day one.”
Rob Christensen reported that “Republicans are hiring staff, choosing committees and committee chairmen.”
They set up eight policy committees. They plan meetings this month with legislative staff, state agencies and interest groups. They may hold town hall meetings across the state. They’ll even meet with Democrats!
The activity – and the publicity about it – reflects the importance of what the Republicans are about to undertake.
If they can successfully navigate this $4 billion budget-cutting storm and bring both the ship of state and their political vessel safely to shore, they could be in power for years to come.
But it’s not easy sailing. Dangerous currents, underwater hazards and determined foes await them.
If they fail, their voyage in power could be cut short.
