I've heard speculation that David Young, a County Commisioner from Buncombe County might be thinking about the seat. I've been looking at his bio and he's been strong on economic development and education -- he's on the Board of Governors for the University of North Carolina system, which makes me feel good about him. You might remember he ran against Charles Taylor for his seat in congress a few years ago. Can we add him to the list? Lets encourage him if Easley is a no.

Rep. Price has easily won re-election to Congress from his district numerous times. It is comprised largely of the "blue" counties of NC, that is , Durham and Orange. He is relatively pro-business (having been a business prof at Duke before entering politics) but was "liberal" enough and courageous enough to oppose the Iraq invasion. He speaks well, and listens even better. I think he's the perfect "Southern gentleman" candidate to oppose Dole. And his current seat in Congress would easily stay in Democratic hands given the liberal/academic political bent of many of the district's voters.
