after we posted about this yesterday or the day before, I wrote a pal of mine that works as a editorial page editor and asked what he thought, hoping for the best.. heres his responce to me:

Unless Burr has a sudden infusion of energy, money and connection with the voters, and unless Bowles stumbles badly, it sure looks like it's going for Bowles. Every poll I've seen gives him a double-digit lead in most parts of the state. I haven't gotten to know either of them, but from what I can see from afar, neither one is going to make a great senator. A classic lose-lose election.

Awesome. bush needs to pay NC and SD a visit to drum up name recognition.

Is Burr a good speaker ? Good campaigner ? What's his style ?

Not every Senator needs to be a star. In this case, an invisible GOP back-bencher is better than a Clinton retread voting Dem on critical votes.

Unlike John Kerry.
