Cal Cunningham, Elaine Marshall Race in N.C. Poses Test for Democrats
By Mary C. Curtis - Politics DailyCHARLOTTE, North Carolina -- You might not know it from all the attention Nikki Haley is getting, but on Tuesday, the other Carolina is also headed for a runoff election. North Carolina Democrats will not just be choosing a candidate to challenge incumbent first-term Republican Sen. Richard Burr in the fall. The results of Elaine Marshall vs. Cal Cunningham will reach all the way to the Democratic establishment in Washington, which has taken a side. In the May 4 primary, Secretary of State Marshall finished first with 36 percent of the vote, shy of the 40 percent needed to prevent a runoff, ...
N.C. Senate Race a Test for Democrats, Obama and a Confident GOP Incumbent
By Mary C. Curtis - Politics DailyDespite predictions in 2008 of a permanent shift from red to blue, the 2010 North Carolina Senate race could be a test of the durability of Democratic strength. First blush judgments of a lasting shift in a state that went to President Obama by 14,000 votes may have been premature. Voters will certainly have a clear choice since Republican Sen. Richard Burr, who is running for reelection, has opposed most of the things the Obama administration has favored.

Marshall Leads Democratic Pack in Race to Oppose GOP's Burr in N.C.
By Bruce Drake - Politics DailyNorth Carolina Secretary of State Elaine Marshall is leading the pack of Democrats hoping to run against GOP Sen. Richard Burr, but half of the voters are still undecided about who they will support in the race, according to a Public Policy Polling survey conducted Feb. 12-15. Marshall draws 29 percent of the vote with former state Sen. Cal Cunningham at 12 percent, Democratic organizer and fundraiser Kenneth Lewis at 5 percent and lawyer Marcus Williams at 2 percent. Fifty-one percent are undecided. All suffer at this point from lack of name recognition. Sixty-two percent don't know enough ...
Bank of America CEO Tells of Fed Threats to Buy Merrill Lynch
By Patricia Murphy - Politics DailyTestifying before the House Oversight Committee today, the CEO of Bank of America, Ken Lewis, said that federal regulators threatened to fire him and the bank's board of directors if the bank failed to complete a planned acquisition of then-teetering investment bank, Merrill Lynch. Lewis testified that during Bank of America's purchase of Merrill in December 2008, a last-minute report of massive losses at the investment bank raised enough red flags for the bank's leadership that it began a legal process to back out of the purchase, but federal officials objected. "If we went through with the ...
