Richard Burr Wall Street Stooge Senate Seat in doubt
Cheney/Bush yes-man, Senator, NC, Richard Burr popularity numbers among likely voters in november 2010 elections, are down to 25%.
The poor showings, reflects public outrage towards Burr, due to his attempts to derail President Obama's Wall Street regulations.
The latest poll on the race, puts Elaine Marshall ahead of Burr 37%-35%. Its "a big swing in momentum. The voters are finished with Senator Richard Burr after 16 years of failed leadership and broken promises in Washington." Wrote, A.J. Carrillo Campaign Manager for Elaine Marshall for U.S. Senate, in email sent to supporters today.
Marshall Leads 2010 senate race by 2% say Dems.
"Senator Burr talks a good game on the debt, but helped to usher in bailouts for Wall Street and massive tax cuts to the wealthy. He talks a good game about creating jobs, but the only plan he's proposed is the same failed policies that got us into this mess." Carrilo wrote.
"The truth is this: Burr has no path to victory except to bring Elaine down and distort her clear record of hard work on behalf of the people of North Carolina. But with the proper resources, we can fight back, tell the real story of this election, and beat Burr." Carrilo Added.

in his blog: we been remarking for some time on how odd it strikes
me that the bulk of Republican Senators representing states that
Barack Obama carried in November seem to have no worries that
blanket opposition to his agenda will hurt them at the polls. Now
via Steve Benen, I Rob Christensen in the Raleigh News &
Observer wondering if Richard Burr (D-NC) is going down to defeat:
“Two statewide polls show Burr’s approval rating in the mid-30
percent range, regarded as a dangerously low number for an
incumbent.”
