This announcement leaves Lenoir County GOP chairman Michelle Nix as the only announced candidate for NCGOP vice-chairman.  Tenth congressional district GOP chairman Craig Collins — a clear establishment favorite — and Hasan Harnett — a Tea Party favorite and close ally of Charlotte area media personality and Tea Party activist Vince Coakley — are the two announced candidates for chairman.  An effort to draft Sixth District GOP chairman A.J. Daoud is still alive and well out there.
