The 2010 Senate race is heating up.
With Democrats coming off one of their best election cycles ever, U.S. Sen. Richard Burr already has two potential opponents: Attorney General Roy Cooper and U.S. Rep. Heath Shuler (and maybe outgoing state Treasurer Richard Moore).
To prepare, Burr has stepped up his press efforts in recent weeks.
And today, his office unveiled a revamped official Web site that features a blog, a podcast and video.
The site has been redesigned and streamlined and is, to Dome's eyes, more attractive than the usual Senate Web page.
Meantime, MMI Marketing, a Raleigh public relations firm, has been sending Dome lengthy e-mails about Cooper's years-long fight against a lawsuit filed by his 2000 Republican opponent, Dan Boyce.
"It will be interesting to see if N.C. Attorney General Roy Cooper will argue something to the effect that he is above the law in his own lawsuit when it goes to trial on May 18, 2009," reads a typical sentence from an e-mail sent yesterday.
Burr's office has no connection to the Cooper lawsuit, but it is a sign that some Republicans are keenly interested in the state attorney general.

When ya'll hear Shuler speak publicly, you'll know who not to vote for.
Hopefully your other choice will be Pat McCrory or Mike Munger! Anybody but a democrackkk!
