The NC Democratic Party announces a "blue crew" training tomorrow morning at the Presbyterian Church of the Covenant Fellowship Hall led by Jeff Mallare, regional director of the state party and formerly a staffer on the Obama campaign. The focus of the training is described as "grassroots organiz[ing] and effective tips on real, meaningful impact in your communities."
Conservative activist Joe Guarino has expressed objections [1, 2] about the church providing space for the party for past events.
Guarino's criticisms don't seem to have gotten much traction. On another level, Democrats across the state appear to understand that they have an uphill battle to turn out their base to counteract the conservative backlash at the polls against President Obama.
Meanwhile, Democratic incumbent Brad Miller's quest for reelection in North Carolina's 13th Congressional District is sure to be aided by the fact that he's been chosen as Greensboro College's commencement speaker on May 9, five days after the primary.
A press release from the college, whose spokesman is Presbyterian Lex Alexander, reports that Miller's speech will be entitled "Making a killing, or making a living."
