Kindley going for state chairman
Marcus Kindley, now chairman of the Guilford County Republican party, is running to replace Ferrell Blount as state party chairman.
Blount resigned earlier this week, saying he wants to run for another office.

- Click here to read Kindley’s blog, “The Chairman’s Corner.”
There is at least one other candidate in the race. Linda Daves of Charlotte, a vice chair under Blount and the interim chairman now, says she is seeking the job. Daves headed up the Republicans “Victory 2006” organization this year.
The party’s state executive committee will choose the new chairman Dec. 2 in Charlotte.
Update: When I wrote this post at 4:28 p.m., "The Chairman’s Corner" was up and running at the link above. However, when Roch checked in to the comments below at 11:04 p.m., it was gone. But for better or worse, the Google cashe remembers all.
Update 2: Click here to read Saturday's newspaper story on this.
Update 3: Since there seemed to be discussion at Ed’s and Sue’s I decided to do a couple things.
First, I looked up Marcus’ blogger profile, which no longer lists “The Chairman’s Corner” but does list a newish one called Romans 8 Prayer Warriors.
Second, I put in a call to Marcus to ask whether he took it down or whether something else happened. I’ll report back here when he gets back to me.

Could be the best thing to happen to the state Democratic party...

Hmmm. Would this new ambition have anything to do with the sudden disapearance of "The Chairman's" blog?

Well dang, Roch, I don't know. It was there this afternoon when I linked to it. But as I've told my colleagues in my own field: your blog may be gone, but the google cash remembers.

No way... that's funny. How long does Google save the pages? Unless it's a decent amount of time, someone may want to do some of their own archiving of some of the more choice posts from The Chairman's Corner.

He did it again! How can anyone be so stupid as to get caught by the Google Cache a second time? I can hear Buggs Bunny now saying, "What a maroon."
Marcus should be on Looney Tunes for the bone head moves he keeps making, but getting caught by the Google cache twice-- a classic if there ever was one.
Quick, somebody put up a mirror site!

I, too, have tried to get on the Chairman's blog, using various means (101, blog rolls) and have been unsuccessful. Does this have any greater meaning than simply a blip on the internet? Could it be that the Chairman is backing away from (or covering up) some of the incendiary things he's said on his blog? Might he not want people statewide to see his Freestyle method of, Communicating.
Of course it could be the old adage that the simplest answer is generally correct. The Chairman was on Blogspot.

Folks, I haven't talked to Marcus since last night. I'll give him a buzz on Monday and ask him what's up.

Whatever you do! I personally endorse and support the Chairman quest for party chairperson. Do not let this man be stopped as he is on a mission for God like the Blues Brothers. Go Marcus! Seize the moment?

Cache, not cash. And Roman 8 Prayer Warriors hasn't been updated in over a year. I deleted it from my bloglines like two months ago since there were no updates.
