RALEIGH - A North Carolina native is the new deputy to White House political strategist Karl Rove.

Jonathan D. Felts, 34, rose from a writing and editing major at N.C. State University to his new role as of Friday. He will be coordinating White House relationships with candidates for House, Senate and gubernatorial offices in the 2008 election.

President Bush named Felts on Friday to the position of deputy assistant to the president and director of political affairs. Working with Rove, Felts will coordinate relationships with local candidates and incumbents, helping with money for re-elections and getting a sense of the local political landscapes.

"He's one of the political geniuses of our time," Felts said of Rove. "It's neat to see how his mind works."

In a statement Friday, Rove called Felts an "able member of the White House staff."

"He has extensive campaign and Capitol Hill experience, which will serve him well as he helps coordinate relationships with the many candidates asking for the president's help as well as the House and Senate campaign committees," said Rove, assistant to the president, deputy chief of staff and senior adviser. "I'm delighted to have him as my deputy."

WHERE do these people come from? I read the N/O article and I did dry heaves.

"...He took Bush to a local barbecue restaurant, toured a camp for children and visited a local elementary school.

"It was nice to see the president enjoy good N.C. barbecue," Felts said."

5. RNC Releases Partial List Of White House Officials With Party Email Accounts

~snip~ The White House has said that roughly 50 White House officials have had RNC accounts since 2001, and the letter suggests that more individuals with RNC accounts will be identified. “As the RNC is still in the early stages of its analysis, we expect that this list will require revisions at a later date.” Who are these unidentified individuals? And did they work in jobs that wouldn’t typically require a partisan email account? ~snip~

The partial list of White House officials with RNC accounts is below the fold: ~snip~
