Runoff called for Senate: Cunningham, Marshall to face off
Burr easily wins GOP race
(By Richard Craver; Winston-Salem Journal) - Richard Burr will have to wait another six weeks to learn who will be the Democratic challenger for his U.S. Senate seat.
Burr easily turned back a pesky anti-incumbent protest movement within the Republican Party in yesterday's primary, but no Democratic candidate secured the 40 percent needed to avoid a runoff election.
As a result, Democratic front-runner Elaine Marshall, North Carolina's secretary of state, and Cal Cunningham, a former state senator, will oppose each other in a June 22 runoff.
