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

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

Its bad when a governor has a 30% approval rating, but when its a improvment that is sad. But the democrats always come together at the end to sentence the rest of us to another 4 yrs of the same old crap we have been putting up with for the last 20yrs. Anyone who voted for her, deserves her!!!

Dogbyte, you do know that Senator Burr is our ONLY voice in the senate that voted FOR Bush's Wall Street Bailout.

Once you grow up and get adult jobs, you won't be so off hand about throwing all your tax money away to the lazy.

Goldman Sachs wasn't lazy?

On behalf of the good people we grow in small towns, up yours Yankee.

Looks like a lot of you socialists are running scared. Oh sorry, I meant liberals...naw, I am not PC so I really did mean socialists. But, in reality you are just a bunch of kids that don't know any better. Once you grow up and get adult jobs, you won't be so off hand about throwing all your tax money away to the lazy. Go ahead and back folks that will vote for a bill that murders children (abortions for you dense ones), steals from the seniors' Medicare, mandates subscribing to insurance with threats of jail time, medical services rationing, higher premiums, etc. Oh, and less we forget the death panel is back in this bill. Argue all you want kiddies, but I back up what I say with fact, when all you do is bash the workers and producers. Hang in there kids, and we will take care of you, as always.

It's a strange thing to me the Democrats are having such a hard time finding an opponent for Burr if he is so weak.

I don't see anyone of the horizon in the Democrat world that can oust him, unless he stumbles terribly.

Reality must be raising it's ugly head and if things continue, Hagan will have trouble in her future.

Just my opinion, but I believe I have a lot of company.

Please explain to me how that a poll of 711 constitutes/ citizens can in any way shape form or fashion be respresentive for any politician in this state as that there are in excess of 6.0 + million residents in this state an this in all probability doesn't even count all of the illegals in this state as that we have more of them than our fair share. i personal feel that we should through out all of the bums in congress democrats/ blue dogs an the incubmentrepublican all together an start over again from sratch thank you

Bankrun Burr 4 out of 10 like him, that means 6 out of 10 don't or dont bother with politics at all. Bankrun Burr is a patsy for the US Chamber of Commerce (Big business lobby) Americans for Prosperity, and numerous other groups that advocate keeping wages low, keeping the status quo on healthcare, the disolution of Social Security in favor of a private system (Did the stock market crash last year not give a clue as to how that endeavour would end?) sending jobs overseas, removal of wording from existing laws that prohibit the importation of anything made with child labor or convict labor. Yet the party of No is the american familiy party> I think Not!A working person voting Republican is ignorant or just plain stupid.

40 percent of North Carolinians approve of the job Burr is doing

Take THAT Bush/Rove that recruited him. He's twice as popular as you in a state that went Obama.

HA! This thing is over. Only 6 out of ten North Carolinians either hate his guts or never heard of him. That's spelled 'success' for the GOP these days.

I think Ben was perhaps hinting that this makes it seem more likely Etheridge's decision will be that he'll get into the race.

But I don't think meaningless polling a year out from the election on potential matchups featuring little-known candidates had much if anything to do with Cunningham's decision. It was more likely his ability to raise enough money in a tough climate (the economy, Democratic skittishness, his inexperience, the unlikelihood he would have been supported by the DSCC when they've been doing everything they can to get someone else in the race, etc.). Money is also why the DSCC is trying to get Etheridge into the race; he'd start out with over $1 million in the bank since he doesn't have to fight hard for re-election to the House. Now, if Etheridge does jump in, I'm sure the DCCC will be a little peeved, since it could be a tougher fight to retain that seat on the blue side of the aisle, but luckily, we have a larger margin for error in the House than in the Senate.

Dang Ben, who will you vote for in the Dem primary now?

"It's likely that his decision had something to do with whatever it is U.S. Rep. Bob Etheridge will decide about the race."

It is? So if Etheridge decides against running against Burr, then that's the reason Cunningham dropped out?

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense.
