Greensboro's News & Record Endorsement

Friday, May. 2, 2008 - News & Record Editorial

The three Democrats vying for a chance in the May 6 primary to unseat veteran 6th District Rep. Howard Coble all say it's time for a change.

In addition to sharing a view that Coble's voting record makes him vulnerable, they have something else in common. All are making a first try at elective office. [..]

Teresa Sue Bratton, 59, is a physician specializing in pediatric allergies. She's married, has three children and resides in Greensboro. [..]

And on that key issue [health care], Bratton offers a more workable approach than her opponents. She favors compatible government and private coverage for people not in employer-paid plans. [..]

Bratton comes across as thoughtful and knowledgeable. If elected, time spent living in Great Britain and Canada could prove an asset in the national health care debate. Any of the three would face a formidable task in taking on the popular Coble, who has no primary opposition in the heavily Republican 6th District. However, Bratton emerges as the candidate who best articulates an opposing viewpoint worth hearing.
