Burr race lacks heft
Democrats have yet to offer heavyweight
RALEIGH (Winston-Salem Journal) - So far, none of North Carolina's big-name Democrats seems to want to run next year against Sen. Richard Burr.
Even as Burr has already begun preparations for what could be a tough re-election fight, his most likely challengers are two dark-horse candidates, both lawyers with little political experience and even less statewide name recognition.
In that regard, it's not much different than what happened in the 2008 U.S. Senate race, when top Democrats declined to run against incumbent Republican Elizabeth Dole. State Sen. Kay Hagan was persuaded to run and wound up defeating Dole.
