I'm not sure why people think it's a big mystery about Brizzi's intentions. I think it is pretty obvious he's not seeking a third term and he made that decision a long time ago. The delay was so he could knight a successor at the last minute so an outsider would not come in.

I really do not know what Brizzi is thinking. The public is clearly going to part ways with him if he runs again and in my circles of friends who are all Republicans, they won't vote for him again because they feel he is too damaged and they also believe that his relationship to Durham smells to high hell.

"Brizzi's involuntary lame-duck status should have already prompted any sincere Republican candidates to announce anyway, and not wait on whether Brizzi accepts the inevitable or not."

That isn't necessarily true. Have you ever been through a countywide slating convention? They are brutal...and easily manipulated by party bosses. Although it appears like it woud be a wide open field with Brizzi gone, slating makes it difficult for a true outsider to have a shot at the position.

Brizzi's involuntary lame-duck status should have already prompted any sincere Republican candidates to announce anyway, and not wait on whether Brizzi accepts the inevitable or not. It is telling and disappointing that nobody appears to have the courage to make the leap ahead of time -- they probably fear for their jobs if they do so.

Time to clean house, which won't happen with a Brizzi-approved clone. Close ties to Brizzi will be one of the first campaign issues any Republican candidate will have to address and attempt to explain away. Such is the legacy.

The GOP, through Newman, Ballard and Brizzi is nastily anti-gun, back-room dealing, incompetent and shady.

The GOP, through Mitch, is high tax, pro-war, big government and corporate welfare.

No, thanks. Not my brand.
