| Description | WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — Republicans raring for “skin to rip and blood to flow” in the North Carolina Senate race are about to get their wish.
So says Rep. Richard Burr (R-N.C.), the fifth-term congressman who has spent the past year raising oodles of cash, trekking around the state in a 1999 Acura listening to country music and Vivaldi, and, he contends, laying the foundation for a final, six-week blitzkrieg that will demolish his Democratic rival, Erskine Bowles.
This should come as a great relief to Republicans. For months, party strategists, conservative activists and other Burr supporters have been waiting for the Senate candidate to go on the attack, hoping that finally — finally — the congressman would start talking about gay marriage, abortion and stem-cell research.
“These kinds of issues are where the Burr campaign needs to be speaking out with more passion,” said Rep. Walter Jones (R-N.C.). “I know what is out here. There is a very deep concern about the breakdown of morality. There is a very deep concern that this nation is forgetting its Judeo-Christian values.” |
