Democrats to Have Dry Convention

As opposed to the public unions they have left all wet by holding their convention in a right-to-work state.

"N.C. seeks blue law change

RALEIGH, N.C. - Adding a twist to blue laws in an increasingly red state, North Carolina’s Republican-led legislature is toasting a measure to keep the booze flowing at the Democratic National Convention.

President Obama and other Democratic Party headliners are set to be in Charlotte for the nominating soirée held every four years, which kicks off with a Labor Day party at a stock car track. The state’s government-run liquor stores are closed Sundays and for the Monday holiday, presenting a potential problem for bars, restaurants, and hotels needing to replenish depleted alcohol stocks.

The convention is expected to draw tens of thousands who will spend millions on food and drinks. To the rescue is a bipartisan group of lawmakers in Raleigh sponsoring a bill to keep the Alcoholic Beverage Control stores in Mecklenburg County, which includes Charlotte, open for Labor Day 2012.
