NC-Sen: Statewide Recruitment Thread
GOP Sen. Richard Burr holds North Carolina's supposedly "cursed" Senate seat -- one that has switched parties every time its been up for election starting from 1974 onward. That's no guarantee that Burr won't break the curse in 2010, but he certainly starts the cycle with a big target on his back. Who would you like to see run against him?
UPDATE by Crisitunity:

PPP (12/8-9, registered voters)


Roy Cooper (D): 39
Richard Burr (R-inc): 34
(MoE: ±3.9%)
Speak of the devil: PPP shows up with a poll of one of the likeliest matchups: Burr vs. Attorney General Roy Cooper. The news is very good, with Cooper holding a five-point lead (albeit with huge undecideds). Burr also sports a downright awful approve/disapprove at 32/31, while Cooper clocks in at 44/23.

I hope cooper runs but I will vote for any Dem that runs against Burr the turd.

2. May the curse survive to 2010.
Then, let the curse die for 30 years.

The United States is a LIBERAL Country.

3. I've been leaning towards Grier Martin for a while but....
Roy Cooper seems like a sure winner. We can't go wrong with either one of them.

4. Any Dem would be better than Burr.

5. Burr responded via snail mail to a letter I sent expressing my displeasure of the FISA bill
he was kind enough to send me a nicely worded (form) letter in response. That letter was almost exactly the same letter that I received from Liddy Dole :S.

That is NOT change I can believe in and vow to get my carcass out to vote him out in '10.

Going to do some reading up on Roy Cooper.
