OK. Here's my problem:

I just moved into the Winston-Salem area (NC) and the current Congressman from my district (Burr) is also running for Senate here. I understand he has an excellent conservative record and a substantial warchest.

BUT

There is little I would enjoy more than to help solve many of our society's racial problems by increasing the number of genuine conservative men and women of color in politics. If he really is a "J.C. Watts" (minus the family problems) I would LOVE to have him represent me.

AND

A harsh primary could cost us a senate seat.

SO

What's a guy to do? Anyone active in NC politics have any information?

Well, since Vernon Robinson is running for US Representative, ie the House, I'm not sure I see how his primary would cost Burr the Senate election.

Support Vernon for US House, support Burr for US Senate. Neither race will affect the other measurably.

Burr is running for Senate. Robinson is running for House of Representatives. No seats will be lost. The Dems don't have a chance in either race, unless a liberal Republican wins the district 5 primary.
