Re: GOP gloats over Cunningham decision

I'm a Republican looking to go unaffiliated because of this very thing!
Forget the gloating and sniping. We elect you to get the job done and the parties are made up of cluesless hacks looking for a fight. It's time to earn our votes - As an unaffiliated voter in NC you can choose which party you want to vote for in the May 2010 primaries. Don't give them the satisfaction of assuming just because there are this many Dems or RepS I can depend on your vote. MAKE THEM WORK FOR YOUR VOTE. REGISTER AS UNAFFILIATED!

Career politicians breed corruption and lies. Vote them out or they and their cronies either die in or retire from office.

Option one....you win
option two....you lose

Hey DOME...WHEN will you be publishing the LIST of NC Legislators who purposely boycotted the Jesse Helms Honorarium last day or two?

Not that this has anything to do with anything, but I bet you could look up the photos of our legislators and guess.

Jerk.

That said, Cunningham has a good biography and seems to be exciting the netroots.

Understatement of the year.

And I'm convinced the husband of a Lillian's List Board Member with his personal story can raise more money than my Grandmother.

No offense Granny Marshall.

Tricia Cotham should run so we can see how well her idea about raising taxes flies with both Democrats and then all of NC's voters if she wins the Democratic nomination.

Shuler is a gentleman and has more in common with Burr than he does with the liberal NC Democrat apparatchiks. I'm glad to see he's standing by his word.

Why would Schuler (or any other sitting member of the US House) want to give up a sure seat for what is going to be a very hard race to win. Regardless of what the PPP polls say, Burr has a solid track record, a strong campaign organization, a solid base, and very low negatives!

The Schuler seat - and maybe even the McIntire seat could easily go Republican and the dems would not only lose the Senate race, but two house seats!

Re: Martin's not interested either

Right now anyone associated with the Democratic Party in NC is being very careful with all of these scandals still running about.

That is exactly why Rep. Martin would make a great U.S. Senator.

Blust is a consistently unpleasant person.

I believe the backlash will be against the Democrats this time. Look at their out of control spending and of course Obama and his left hand turn in his political decisions.

Someone always files, but it'd be pretty unusual for an incumbent senator in an already beleaguered party to face a serious threat.
