Senators were much in the news this week.

The most read stories on the Dome blog this week included news about Sen.-elect Kay Hagan, former Sen. John Edwards and Sen. Richard Burr.

1. Godless Money: A Hagan spokeswoman says the campaign received 3,600 donations after an ad attacked Hagan's faith. In God we trust?

2. Back to the Spotlight: After laying low for three months, Edwards tentatively steps back into the spotlight with a speech in Indiana. At least it wasn't in Iowa.

3. Transition Team: Gov.-elect Beverly Perdue names her transition team, including a former three-time Cabinet secretary. Plus ça change...

4. Roads in the Red: State transportation officials expect road construction to dwindle due to high gas prices. On the bright side, no one'll notice 'cause no one can afford to drive.

5. Burr's Cold Shoulder: After getting 6,000 requests, Senator Burr says he's no longer talking to voters who want inaugural tickets. After all, he did back McCain.

Hey maybe Burr is only giving tickets to the NEW patriots shown in a N&O gallery? You know, the people who would not have been patriots of McCain were elected.

"Are you implying if McCain was going to be inaugurated then Burr would still be accepting requests?"

I know you were just born yesterday, so here's a bottle.

Don't anger the minority RTB. Of course this post will now be a link to the Burr reelection campaign as proof of liberal bias.

It's a play on words ... Brrr ... Cold shoulder. Now you've made me spoil the joke.

The most read post is meant to be a little playful.

I think the wording "Burr's cold shoulder" is a bit much. As if he is ignoring constituents. He probably won't even get 500 tickets and already has 6000 requests. Are you implying if McCain was going to be inaugurated then Burr would still be accepting requests?
