Huh? Are you talking about the Irksome Bowles/Richard Burr race? I am not sure about recent polling on that race, but last I heard Bowles was ahead. Of course, he has been running ads for a while now and Burr has not run any in most of the state. I saw one last weekend while visiting relatives on a Raleigh station and that was the first one I have seen.
I am not too worried about that race either, as Burr can more than hold his own in a debate and has been a champion of tobacco and manufacturing interests here with a record to back that up. All Bowles has is his time in Clinton's Administration where he was not as friendly to the tobacco and manufacturing interests here, especially with regards to furniture.
Add to that the fact that Bush will likely be making appearances with Burr and that Bowles is trying everything he can to distance himself from Clinton and I think the race is far from over.
But, I am a "glass half full" type by nature so take it for what it's worth! :)
Yup..that's the one..I'm not to worried about it either.. look, Edwards "dropped out" to run for president because he wasn't sure he could hold the seat, an if he lost, his political career is over..and Liddy clobbered Bowles last time out, and she's working really hard to defeat him again..I've become a big fan of hers..but I was just mentioning the race in the context of the polls in the articles...notice now a 5-7% lead for W is "slim" in the story...it also seemed inconceivable that Bush coudl be ahead by that marging, and Bowles ahead by an even bigger margin..it doesn't compute..
