We've had plenty of evidence that too much power in any one party's hands isn't such a good thing. On the national level and DEFINITELY at the state level.

It's time for change, and that change should include a balance of power between the two big parties, AND a lot more independents in office.

Not sure they can find someone who can hold his liquor like Allred or is so smooth with the young ladies..........

The idea of Bev Perdue appointing Hugh Webster brings a smile to my face.

Who'da thunk it?

That picture of Allred makes him look like a bitter old man version of Madd Magazine's Alfred E. Newman!

Mr. Allred,

To suggest that your service parallels that General MacArthur is a discredit to General MacArthur and the entire Armed Forces of the United States.

You are an elected official and certainly have not served yor country or state with honor approaching that of Genral MacArthur.

Good to know he has the sense to resign. Shows that he has more sense than our former First Lady Mary Easley. Sad that he may actually be a better person than her.

What a shame...he didnt need to resign, but Im sure he is SICK to death of all the democrackkk CORRUPTION he's had to endure in the Legislature.
Perdue had BETTER pick a worthy republican to replace him, which is the ONLY right thing to do.

Mary Easley is being forced out as we 'speak' today...

Notice the difference when a Republican in NC gets caught? Immediate calls for resignation from party leadership, followed by resignation!
The Dems hang on and fight it as long as possible, and no one expects any different.

His ego was bigger than anything he ever achieved in the legislature. Good riddence to bad rubbish.

Well, Mary's only worth $850k. She's a far cry from $2 million.
