Burr gets a challenger

Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.) appears to have his first Democratic challenger for next year. Kenneth Lewis, a fundraiser for President Obama last year, told state party leaders last weekend that he is running, the Raleigh News and Observer reports.

Lewis graduated from Harvard Law in 1986 and then went on to clerk for a North Carolina Supreme Court justice. He fundraised for Obama's 2004 Senate race and headed Obama's finance operation in North Carolina next year.

Democrats are also waiting to see if Attorney General Roy Cooper will jump in the race.
