State Rep. Grier Martin hopes to decide this week.
The Raleigh Democrat has been considering since June whether to run for the Democratic nomination to challenge Republican Sen. Elizabeth Dole.
"I'd like to sort it out this week," he said.
Next week, Martin, who is a major in the Army Reserves, will begin a month's training at Fort Bragg. A two-term legislator and attorney, he served in Afghanistan in 2002-2003, Rob Christensen reports.
"I'm convinced that the race is winnable and its winnable by me,” Martin said. "All, I'm looking at now is the effect it would have on my family."
State Sen. Kay Hagan of Greensboro has also been looking at the race.
Jim Neal, a Chapel Hill investment banker and former Democratic fund raiser, has announced he will run.

Re: wuptdo stupidity
Well said. The respondent has left messages like this one on a regular basis on a range of topics so we all pretty know now about the stupidity of the blogger. Haven't see one yet where this person actually knew anything other than new words for Democrat. I suspect this person is paid to leave their anti-democrat rhetoric. The Bill Graham camp of consultants pulls stunts like this all the time to try to create a false impression of strength where there is none.
