The Marshall Plan
September 2, 2010 - by
Senator Richard Burr’s ad shows he knows he could be vulnerable. Voters don’t know him or what he’s done.
Which supports Elaine Marshall’s case for getting the $10 million she needs from the DSCC to be competitive.
Senate Democrats are playing defense most everywhere this year. It would be nice to make one raid in Republican territory. Make them spend time and money here instead of against a Democratic incumbent.
Public Policy Polling has repeatedly noted Burr’s weakness.
RealClearPolitics says Burr is in “the danger zone.”
Plus, she has an advantage: She’s a woman.
PPP’s analysis shows that Democratic voters aren’t energized. Money – and a visit by President Obama – could change that.
Which would help not only Marshall , but also Democratic congressional incumbents. And Democratic chances in the legislative races. And redistricting in 2011. And Obama’s chances here in 2012.
The votes are there for Marshall . The question is whether she’ll have the money to get them.
