Who else might run for Senate in 2010?

After U.S. Rep. Heath Shuler dropped out yesterday, the Associated Press checked in with the top Democratic prospects to face Sen. Richard Burr two years from now. 

Their answers:  

Attorney General Roy Cooper: Political consultant Morgan Jackson said he won't decide "for a few more months." 

Former Treasurer Richard Moore: Said he has no plans but isn't ruling it out.

Secretary of State Elaine Marshall: Said she wasn't seeking the job but wouldn't rule herself out for good.

Schools Superintendent June Atkinson: Said she had "absolutely no intention" of running.

FFC - I appreciate the libertarian mentality and prescribe to many of their ideologies of government. Thomas Paine would be very proud of voting in accordance to our personal preference order, but the notion of "wasted vote" rings too loud and with the Democrats promoting more liberal ideas a day, costing this country almost $1 billion a day, then we have to work for conservatives. I think you might agree in the end.

Um, lets give it a rest for a long while. We enjoy long periods of no campaigning. The best thing for EVERYONE is to RENOUNCE whichever demopublican slave drivers you've been supporting and find others to run for the people like Duke Prof Michael Munger for instance!

Get away from BOTH of the EVIL forces that seek to control your every movement in life!
