Elaine Marshall vs Richard Burr in North Carolina ? [View All]

[kentuck]

About a month ago, most polls were showing Burr about 7-9 points up in this race but it has tightened since then. This could be a race playing in the shadows. The Democrats could pick up this seat.

I caught part of the debate this morning on C-SPAN and she looked very strong. North Carolina likes women candidates. They even voted for Elizabeth Dole. Granted, she was a Republican but Burr has that "incumbent" label, much like Bennett in Utah and Lisa Murkowski in Alaska. Republicans have a strong enmity against these types of Republicans that were there when the debt was doubled and did nothing about it.

This is a race that the Democrats could slip in and win. Keep an eye on this one.
