Scratch one North Carolina Democrat from the list of possible challengers to incumbent Sen. Richard M. Burr in 2010.

Cal Cunningham, a former state senator, informed supporters Monday night that he will pass on the race.
Cunningham had been generating interest among Democratic Party leaders as a possible recruit should Rep. Bob Etheridge decline to run.
