Burr is the incumbent Senator that the Dems are most confident of being able to defeat, so why would you do something that makes that easier to do?
Say what?? Are you claiming that Burr is more likely to get defeated than the uber-RINO Mark Kirk of Illinois?? Stating whoppers like this makes me doubt your credibility.
I don’t agree with weakening an incumbent Republican Senator because he is not perfect - especially in a year that the numbers favor the Democrats!
By your reasoning, incumbents should never be challenged no matter how bad they are. This is the reasoning that has given us the current mess where the Washington cartel forgets everything they promised during the election and votes for the lobbyists and the big donors when they get to Washington.
A question: Do you think Juan McCain should be primaried in Arizona?
You know nothing about me, yet you doubt my credibility? I have lived in NC all of my 65 years on this earth and I could care less about Mark Kirk in Illinois. I got my information about how the Dems feel about Burr from the following article from The Hill:

All I know is that I do NOT want another Democrat representing me in the US Senate!
Now, John McCain I do have an opinion about. He has done a lot of damage to the Republican party and DOES deserve to be primaried. I just do not feel the same way about Richard Burr.
