Political Predictions: Ed Ridpath 2009 Wake County Party Chairman

Ed Ridpath is in the running for the new Wake County Party Chair but so is Jack Nichols. Both candidates lost their bids for elected office in 2008 but both are good guys. Smart money is on Ed Ridpath, a peace maker and mellow man. Ed's is a classy guy but may have a sore "butt" from sitting on the fence more often than not. He's likeable and comes without baggage. Nichols is an affable fellow. Funny and personable but a former campaign volunteer is costing him an opportunity by attaching herself to his coattails in the form of a "slate."

Ed and Jack, good luck to you both and may the best man win.

Good either way

Both are smart and capable, and committed to progressive ideas. Its a win with either one.

I believe Ed is supporting Nichols

I think Ed said he is supporting Jack Nichols. I could be wrong. I certainly agree with Blue South: It's a win with either one.

What about Ed?

If Ed Ridpath is supporting Jack Nichols for WCDP chair, will Ed run for another office on the county board? What's the latest info?
