Even if Burr learns the lesson of EDole, he is still doomed. NC is moving the way of DE and MD, instead of SC and GA.
It kind of reminds me of this year’s NH Senate race. Six years ago, John Sununu won the seat from the incumbant Senator by saying he “couldn’t win” against the Democrat and needed to step aside for a more electable Republican. This year, when the same fate fell on Sununu and he found himself trailing the RAT for monthes on end, he hypocritically INSISTED on staying on the race. NH had moved left and the is was virtually impossible for a Republican tied at the hip to Bush winning re-election in the only state that flipped from Bush to Kerry.
