[/b][/align]RALEIGH, N.C. -- [/b]House Democrats say Speaker Jim Black will remain their leader despite his legal troubles. [/align]
The Democrats met behind closed doors Tuesday night to prepare for the upcoming legislative session. [/align]
Lawmakers said members spoke frankly about Black, a four-term speaker who is being considered by Wake County prosecutors for potential criminal charges related to his handling of campaign checks written by his fellow optometrists. [/align]

A few months ago, weren't the Dems throwing a fit about campaign finance? Now one of their own is in legal trouble for the same thing, but we hear nothing about it? What's up with that? They wanted to hang the Rep., but it's ok with one of theirs?

Double standard. Only hang people when it's convenient.

Representative Dewey Hill said several members will run for speaker next year if they are re-elected this November. But, Hill said, changing leaders during the two-year session would be detrimental.

You forgot the best part of the article and the part which explains why these democrats are holding themselves to a separate and lower standard.
