This morning, my inbox contained a reply to yesterday's post on the 2010 North Carolina Senate race.  It appears that an NC Republican who identifies himself as J. Willis took issue with my assessment of the race as a "safe Republican" seat at the present moment.

Willis writes that Tar Heel voters of all political perspectives are blaming Republicans for the current economic crisis and this will carryover into the 2010 election by taking Burr or of the picture in North Carolina.

I do not dismiss the posters thoughts, I just want to restate that at the present time with NO announced Democrat and the historical trend of the party-in-power losing seats in the mid-term election, it is extremely difficult to see Senator Burr losing next fall.  However, as I said in yesterday's post, once a Democrat(s) announce, it will be much easier to assess the race and offer a REAL prediction as to the state of the Senate race.

In the meantime, J.Willis left his blog address, Republicans Against Burr, for me to view.  I recommend this blog to y'all.  I think good Democrats will enjoy the material.  

Mr. Willis, why don't you quit the Republican Party and join us Democrats?  I would be interested as to why you want to remain with a party who you state has caused so much harm to our free enterprise system?
