Burr talks the talk but doesn't walk the walk, all for the American worker is he, who drives an Acura.

He has done nothing for this state and voted almost in unison with Bush when he was still president.

I say bring on Shuler, I have friends who live near him and they can't say enough good tings about him, it says a lot when your neighbors say that you're an OK person with a level head, that's all the endorsment I need.

They may see Burr as vulnerable but if the Dems in the state don't improve it won't happen. We just elected Kay Hagan over Dole but many have remorse over it now. And with former governor Mike Easley being investigated by the FBI it doesn't bode well there, either.

Romney/Burr 2012!!
-----------------

Dream on fool! LOL!!!!

Here's an idea: let's repeal the 17th amendment completely. Besides the fact that evidence exists that it was fradulently declared ratified when it had not been, the 17th amendment fundamentally altered the founders' concept of having the states control the U.S. Senate. Congress has trampled the states ever since.

Just get another senator in there to stop the strangle hold the party of NO has – they have destroyed the country and will not stop. They need to be down to at least 30 for a couple of decades to reverse all the damage they have done.

[...] the North Carolina U.S. Senate race, the DSCC is seriously looking at four Democratic candidates, CNN reports. The top candidates: Rep. Heath Shuler (D-NC), Rep. Bob Etheridge (D-NC), former state [...]

If the dems in Washingto keep spending like a fleet of drunk sailors, no matter how good a candidate they bring forward, the repb will keep his seat, Kentucky and Louisianna. Anyone who has ajob and pays income taxes knows that their taxes will be raised to continue the dems spending spree on social/ welfare programs. Unless more than 50% of any of these states are people with a hand out for the goverment to take care of them, they would not be wise to keep the dems in power after this last 5 months where more money was spent in 100 days than in "W's" first 4 years.

The democrats are desperate: they should run John Edwards, not Elizabeth who is ill.

Shuler would be a shoe-in, since he is a conservative Democrat and would pull in a lot of votes from the center. I hope he gets the nod. the point, after all, is to win, and he would side with the president far more than against him ( Republicans, take note: this is what Senator Graham said would win elections).

Elizabeth Edwards would not be a good choice. Her health issues and her complicity in her husband's coverup temper the sympathy factor considerably.

Romney/Burr 2012!!

As long as you don't expect a liberal, you might get a DINO from NC.

Nothing like grassroots, representative government from the local level. The national committe presents the state a list of acceptable candidates. How American!

Kenneth Lewis also announced he might run for that Senate seat. I don't know about the other candidates mentioned here, but NC needs some real progressives.

I am for any of them ... Burr is just one more nay-saying Republican in the way of the 21st century. Republicans have no ideas, no solutions, and no commitment to move our nation forward.

Mr. Burr, tax breaks for oil companies and the rich are not a solution to anything.

That list is way off. Let's try Kenneth W. Lewis (no, not the B of A guy) and Cal Cunningham, realitive unkowns, but without the baggage that comes with the others.

while I have complete sympathy for Ms. Edwards cancer condition as well as the fact that her husband is a lying cheat exactly what makes her qualified to be a US Senator???
