I guess if he ignores the Easley stuff then it is a non issue and he can then turn his blinders away from fulfilling his current job requirements and run for another public office........just like John Edwards. WOW!

Forgetaboutit Coop. The voters want politcal resolve, not another spinelss politician who lacks the character to do what needs to be done.

You bamboozled the voters until 2012. How about honoring those voters who elected you? Complete your term or just go ask Easley for a job.

Instead of spending time exploring whether to run for US Senate could he please do a little investigating of loaner cars for politicians?

Aftercancer - your assertion is unfounded and based in emotions. How come you can not celebrate Burr's efforts in the state of North Carolina? Read the full article...

And if we are sincerely talking about people that are beholden to people's money then let's look at Kay Hagan.

Trial Lawyers gave her over $10,000 for the PAC and thousands more individually and the got Lilly Leadbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009

Hagan got $234,000 from Labor Unions and they are getting her support on the Employee Free Choice Act of 2009

Hagan has voted with the Democrats like Schumer and Reid 94% of the time and I guess that is payment for the close to $11 million given to Hagan by the DSCC.

Black voters are increasingly seeing progress in supporting the party of
EMANCIPATION!

Union Co, NC just elected their first black Republican Chairman, Mr. Jim Bention and Buncombe Co NC has had same now for couple years, Dr. Tim Johnston. Black republicans are embraced for their contributions of success, not netting government programs.

It began Nov. 5.

It's like the rainy season in Seattle — July 1 through June 30.

I was at the Fayetteville rally on 10/19. We got turned away at the door after the crowd inside reached capacity. There were at least 3,000 people behind us. I don't think your count includes the people who were not able to get into the event.

John Burns, are you trying to be offensive? What exactly do you mean? Are you race baiting?
