Romney-McCain fray widens to take in Burr and Bob Dole
RALEIGH (Winston-Salem Journal) - One North Carolina senator and the husband of the other became embroiled yesterday in an internal party squabble between Republican candidates Mitt Romney and John McCain.
The flap began with a series of remarks from the conservative radio-talk-show host Rush Limbaugh. By yesterday morning, it had expanded to take in Bob Dole, a former Republican presidential candidate, and Richard Burr, North Carolina’s junior senator.
The war of words reflects the fractures within the Republican establishment that have emerged during this year’s contentious race for the party’s presidential nomination. Those fractures became more pronounced yesterday on the most important day of the race so far, as millions of Republicans voted in primaries and caucuses across the nation.

I don't understand why Burr even felt the need to respond. That issue was between Dole, Rush, McCain & Romney. Reading that article makes me think that Burr wants to be Lindsey Graham Jr.
