{First, a cheap plug for my blog Senate Guru.}
In a story released today by The News & Observer, North Carolina’s Democratic state Attorney General Roy Cooper indicated that he may decide on whether or not to run for Senate in 2010 IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS!
Polls by Civitas and Public Policy Polling already show Attorney General Cooper beating Republican incumbent Richard Burr (who has recently gained notoriety by blocking Tammy Duckworth’s appointment to a Veterans Affairs post).
If you so see fit, PLEASE call Roy Cooper’s campaign office at 919-832-4312 (you’ll probably get voice mail) and leave a simple message encouraging Roy Cooper to run for Senate in 2010. Explain that North Carolina and all of America would benefit by having his common sense voice replace Richard Burr’s obstructionist voice.
Every word of encouragement he receives makes him more likely to run — and, if he runs, we can replace Republican backbencher Richard Burr with a strong Democrat like Roy Cooper!

Burr the most conservative Senator from a blue state and one of the most conservative Senators overall. We’ve got to beat him. Coop will make this a tossup from day 1 and a very winnable race.
Go Roy, Go!
lets hope he gets in!
I live in Greensboro and can’t stand Burr.
