Anybody can schedule a live-blog at BlueNC. If you aren't sure whether the community would be open to chatting with the person you have in mind, email or pm members of the front-page team or pose the question in an open thread. Also, check with Betsy or James to make sure the date is available.

Post a question thread 24-36 hours prior to the live-blog and if possible provide us with a photo of the person who will be live-blogging with us. Please be prepared to welcome the participant and help moderate the thread. We will be here to make sure things run as smoothly as possible and to make sure your thread is posted to the front page, highlighted in the appropriate top block and "stickied" up top during the live-blog.

"My opinion of Pat has changed over the years. I used to think he was truly a man of the people but the longer he has been mayor, the less I think of him.

As with most cities, Charlotte has three political parties: Dem, Rep, and Chamber of Commerce. Pat is definitely the puppet of the COC here. What is good for business is good for Charlotte and Pat ... very personable guy, he has gotten a bunch of Dems in these parts to vote for him but I don't trust him."
