North Carolina's former state treasurer, Democrat Richard Moore, said yesterday that he doesn't intend to run in 2010 for the U.S. Senate seat held by Republican Richard Burr.
"We have just finished an election cycle, but I don't have any plans right now," said Moore, 48. "But you never say never."
Moore, N.C. Attorney General Roy Cooper and U.S. Rep. Heath Shuler have been mentioned as possible Democratic challengers to Burr, who seat is up for election next year.
Moore briefly discussed his political future after he spoke to about 100 people at the Wake Forest University School of Law.
In May 2008, Moore lost the Democratic primary for the governor's job to Bev Perdue in a hotly contested and expensive race. During the primary campaign, Moore questioned Perdue's commitment to Democratic Party principles. However, he later endorsed Perdue in the general election, which she won.
