Richard W. Burr?

June 30, 2010 - byGary Pearce

Richard Burr better hope that debate performances have little impact on the November election – or get better fast.

A lawyer friend (I’m not sure if she’s a Democrat or Republican) went to the Burr-Marshall debate last week at the N.C. Bar Association.

Her take: Marshall was stronger than she expected – and Burr much, much weaker.

In fact, his performance – smiling, aw-shucking and not saying much substantive – reminded her of George W. Bush. That is, clueless.
