Last week, former South Carolina Gov. Jim Hunt (D), a key Edwards supporter, predicted Edwards would drop out of the Senate race when he officially declares his candidacy for president Sept. 16, in his hometown of Robbins, N.C.

Unfortunately, Jim "do it for the schoooolllls" Hunt was the North Carolina Governor, for what seemed like forever.

Do you think Hunt will be the one to run against Burr for the Senate seat?

He was governor for 4 terms, to be exact, with Jim Martin between terms 2 and 3.

Even with people on the other side, or in any kind of adversarial situation. I always try to look at things as they are looking at them, put myself in their shoes. I just don't understand why he would drop out of the Senate race. He must be content that if he doesn't make it he can go back to practicing law.

Back when the Edwards hype was the highest it was thought he would be the Dem. VP nominee. That is the only strategy that I can come up with that would make sense for dropping out of the Senate race. Even though I think that Graham or Clark would make more sense for Dean.

There is a reason he was called Jim "Guv For Life" Hunt.

You beat me to the punch! I love it when newsnerds can't get even the most basic of information right.

I don't think this is that big in that I feel Burr would have walked away with the seat even had the Breck Girl decided to fight for his seat. Breck Girl is toast in this state for now. He is hated almost as much as Bill Clinton, which has to be some sort of record!

I voted for Burr when he ran for the House & have always felt he was one of our best representatives. I think he may finally break that Senate seat's curse of "one & done" terms.
