As Chairman of the Guilford Republican Party, with over 99,000 Republicans registered to vote in Guilford County, I find it, let us just say.... interesting that no one with the Guilford County Republican Party was asked to participate in this....Venture. I guess we would just say... Typical of our continued treatment!

I am not familiar with the political affiliations of all the individuals listed, and I do recognize several as Democrats or as having a more liberal perspective, but aren't Steve Arnold and B.J. Barnes members of the Guilford County Republican Party?

I am either reading a different list than Marcus Kindley read, or he overlooked at least those two names. (Or I've misread something.)

The only other possibibility is that Steve Arnold and B.J. Barnes have switched to the Democratic party, and if that is the case, the local media has in its possession a very interesting (and for some people, disturbing) story to share with our community.
