A Democratic activist in Raleigh has set up a Web site to grade U.S. Sen. Richard Burr.
Jerimee Richir, who until recently worked for the N.C. Democratic Party, set up GradeBurr.com, which allows users to rate the Winston-Salem Republican on issues such as the economy and education.
The scales are tipped a little against Burr, with a not particularly flattering photograph and rankings that begin with "He deserves an F" and include "I'll let him slide with a B."
Still, it has attracted fans of Burr. After an overall rating of F by some 60 users on Sunday, the site went to 182 users and an average grade of B-minus by this morning.
"He is a true statesman who works hard for the people of North Carolina," reads a comment left by a Winston-Salem resident.
Created on May 18, the site is hosted by a company that hosts Web sites for as little as $5.95 a month.




Re: Site 'grades' Sen. Burr
Anything's possible. You could ask him or her here at Jerimee's Swan Song 4.0 frontpaged on BlueNC.
Since we now know Clown School is off the table from his previous contributions, looking for a pat on the back from the last 12 people that still think GradeBurr.com was a good idea may not be, in spite of the fact that 41 percent of North Carolinians have NEVER heard of Burr!
We'll see who responds.
On Jerimee's request this post should be labeled, META, since it's all about him.
