RNC to hold winter meeting in North Carolina
(CNN) - Reince Priebus, chairman of the Republican National Committee, announced Tuesday the party will holds its annual winter meeting in Charlotte, North Carolina, the same city where Democrats gathered for their national convention in September.
At the RNC meeting in January, the group will vote on the chairmanship position. Priebus has told members he intends to run for another term, and sources say he will likely win re-election despite the party's losses this cycle.

Priebus began his tenure at the RNC in January 2011, taking the position from then-chair Michael Steele. A former head of the Wisconsin Republican Party, Priebus is credited as a successful fundraiser for the national group who has helped turn around the organization's management.
Unlike most states, North Carolina saw big Republican gains this cycle, most notably a blue-to-red flip in the presidential election. The GOP also picked up the governor's office and three House seats, and the state made headlines in May for passing a constitutional amendment that bans same-sex marriage.

I hope Mr. Priebus wins his re-election. Obama 2008,2012
I suggest they discuss ways to include more than angry, old, rich white people in their party.
Btw, I'm white.
Reelecting Reince Preibus is one factor of what's wrong with the Replublican party. Michael Steele had much more success than Preibus, but they sent him packing. Republicans were slaughtered at the national level this election round, but they will keep Preibus? I don't think they get it. If the Republicans want my support and votes once again, they really need a major overhaul of personnel, candidates, and positions that are much more moderate and tolerant.
"Preibus is credited for his successful fundraising" and former RNC Chairman Michael Steele was fired because he couldn't raise money from the same Republicans. Oh my, I wonder why.
Looking for for work , will travel .
RNC Chairman Reince Priebus
Maybe because he is such a pliable megaphone that Wrench Previous will win?
Winter meeting? With the drubbing they're going to take in 2014, they need to meet every season.

Will it be a group of angry, white, homophobic, xenophobic, bigoted right-wing radicals or will it be a group of angry, white, homophobic, xenophobic, bigoted right-wing radicals pretending to be moderate, tolerant and inclusive?
That will be the coldest winter meeting the GOP has ever had, and it won't be from the weathwe.
I would take a guess that it's because this was the only "swing" state that the President didn't win. They are probably trying to figure out what they did right to suppress the vote in NC.
Something they tried everywhere else but couldn't do it.
No one will be there except Sheldon Adelson, trump, koches, Glenn bech, Karl Rowe, rush LIMBU, glover nor kist. Etc.,
