Republicans may have awakened a sleeping giant in Wake County
First came the arrogance of the new school board majority. Then came the county commissioners’ Potty-Break Putsch.
Suddenly, Wake County Democrats stopped griping about how President Obama, Governor Perdue and the Democratic Congress haven’t yet produced Utopia.
They realize that last year’s election was not a final victory. There are no final victories in politics.
The Republicans are doubtless energized – by the school board elections (achieved with a small slice of county votes), Harold Webb’s illness and general Fox-fed Tea Party Fever.
They forget that Obama carried Wake County
If that giant revives, the Republican resurgence will be short-lived.
