Cary AllredWho will replace Rep. Cary Allred in the House?

So far, "a bunch of folks" have said they're interested in the job, according to Alamance County Republican Party head Robert Simpson.

The most notable are County Commissioner Dan Ingle and former state Sen. Hugh Webster.

Also considering the post are attorney Keith Whited of Burlington, retired banker Steve Carter of Burlington, postal worker Kenneth Kruger of Graham.

Former secretary of state candidate Jack Sawyer was interested, but he does not live in the district, and Alamance GOP vice chairman Dennis Riddell took himself out of the running.

The party's 25-member executive committee will meet June 11 at the Alamance County Courthouse to choose among the candidates.

Gov. Beverly Perdue will then officially appoint their selection.

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!
