CQ: Burr faces serious challenge
Submitted by Betsy Muse on Mon, 07/27/2009 - 10:01am
Congressional Quarterly has a post up outlining the 2010 Senate races that rates the challenge to incumbent Richard Burr as "serious" even if there isn't a top tier challenger in the race. That's not a criticism of Kenneth Lewis. It doesn't mean he isn't a good choice or won't make a good candidate. He's simply a political unknown...for now.
NORTH CAROLINA: Democrats stand a chance of picking up the state’s other Senate seat if they can find a solid challenger to Richard M. Burr , who in 2004 succeeded Democratic vice presidential nominee John Edwards. Obama narrowly won the state last year, and Democrat Kay Hagan unseated Republican incumbent Elizabeth Dole. Burr might have gained running room when popular state Attorney General Roy Cooper announced in May that he would not run for the seat; Democratic recruiters are still looking for a top-tier candidate.
We don't have to take sides to start talking about our one Democratic challenger. Kenneth Lewis has a lot going for him. The most important thing for me is he's willing to put it all out on the line and get in the game.
Lewis' web site is well written
Good choice of words. It's a little dark for my tastes. The colors have a gray hue to them, but colors in a web site won't sway the voters. :D

Vote Democratic, the ass you save may be your own.
I've invited Kenneth to live-blog or interview with us
I'll let you know when I hear back.
