Bowles to run for U.S. Senate To enter race to fill Edwards' seat

Charlotte investment banker Erskine Bowles plans to announce his entry into the U.S. Senate race Thursday, The Observer has learned.

Bowles, a former White House Chief of Staff, is poised to join the race for the seat now held by fellow Democrat John Edwards.

Edwards said this month he would not seek re-election and concentrate instead on his run for the presidency.

Bowles ran in 2002 but lost to Republican Elizabeth Dole.

It's unclear whether he'll have a primary challenge.

Republican U.S. Rep. Richard Burr of Winston-Salem is the presumed GOP nominee.

Guess Bowles wants to get beat a second time?

Klintoon's track record with candidates is awful. Looks like a nice pick up for the pubbies in NC.

Wonder how many FReepers will get banned this time. :-)

Does Bowles want to to a Harvey Gantt? A repeat loss? :D

The US Senate is constipated, but that does not mean it needs Irksome Bowels.

Elizabeth Dole is expected to announce next week that she will also run for John Edwards' seat.

Doesn't matter either way, because the Democrats run the Senate, and will continue to run the Senate after the next election, no matter the outcome.

LOL!!!!!!

"Democrats run the Senate"

That is until the Republican leadership grows a spine and adds a set of nads.

Erskine bowels ties our bowels in knots, not his own. Being Irksome seems to agree with him. Our survival probably does depend on stocking in a good supply of Imodium.

Man. Just when things were getting regular.

[ServesURight]

ANOTHER KLINTONIAN LOSER...CLINTON'S FLUNKIES SHOULD GET A LIFE...

[F.J. Mitchell]

Ah, and if she wins, she will become the undisputed Senator from NC-kind of like when one guy holds all the heavy weight belts in boxing.

One for the price of two, now that's a bargain.

[Guillermo]

Oh yeah, like what?

[Gritty]

Another clinton suck-up. Just what North Carolina needs!

[Rebelbase]

Its time to give Darth Sidious another chance to voice his opinion about voting against Bowles.

[Constitution Day]

Bump to that.
