* State Republicans may nominate a candidate from the floor for party chair: Former gubernatorial candidate George Little or state Sen. Andrew Brock.

* John Hagler grouses about the current state of the Order of the Long Leaf Pine in an entertaining interview on WFAE in Charlotte. 

* The Henderson Daily Dispatch says the Order is a great honor when it's made to a "local pillar, a community stalwart" and not for a retirement.

* Jack Betts files another dispatch in the long-running battle over an Alcoa hydroelectric dam on the Yadkin River in Stanly County.

Well, in a radio interview this week, Brock did not rule out the possibility. In politics, if you do not rule it out, then it is likely possible.

Looks like you hit a nerve with the GOP-must be some truth to it-I suspect a big fight at the convention-oh boy what fun-make sure the N&O covers it fully-the GOP might implode

I want to know about this comment Ryan. Is this the National Enquirer or the News and Observer? Why are you trying to cause trouble with Republicans. I know you are afraid of Protzman and the Democrats. So why don't you pick on them? Equal opportunity is all I ask.

George Little would bring respect back to the grand ole party.He is no nonsense and has impeccable qualifications-you couldn't do any better than Little

Yes. As I said, they may nominate someone. They may not.

RTB, do you have a reliable source on the possibility of a Little or Brock nomination? Talking About Politics doesn't count.
