Chavis to run in primary against Party of Five’s Crawford?

A lot going on in the wake of the governor’s veto of the budget, including talk of Rev. Ben Chavis running against Rep. Crawford in next year’s primary. Jim Crawford, is one of a group of five House Democrats who supported the budget and may vote to override the veto.

Here’s a video of Chavis speaking in January of this year at the Martin Luther King Day service at First Baptist Church in Chapel Hill including remarks about the political challenges in North Carolina (near the end). Needless to say, he’d be a formidable adversary for anyone.
