Richardson resignation puts spotlight on Loudermilk: With House Speaker Glenn Richardson's resignation announcement Thursday, rumors and guestimates hit the political Web sites pretty quickly. One name that popped up as a future speaker of the House: state Rep. Barry Loudermilk, R-Cassville. The buzz started Thursday on the political web site Peach Pundit.
