Dole's experience merits another term in Senate
With the 2008 presidential election quickly approaching, it is easy to put other important races on the back burner. Even some of the most political savvy individuals will be well versed in the platforms of each presidential candidate but will simply vote for the member of his or her party for U.S. Senate.
Although party loyalty is important, sometimes a full appreciation for a candidate can’t be understood without doing research as to why he or she deserves to be in office.
Elizabeth Dole, serving five U.S. presidents, is second to no candidate in political experience. Senator Dole has spent her entire career as a servant to the people, and her re-election will allow her to continue to do great things while serving North Carolina.
On election day, I implore you to not vote just for the Republican or the Democrat, but to choose the right candidate: Elizabeth Dole.

Daniel,
I will be choosing "the right candidate" in November for NC state senator. However, I will not be voting for Dole. Besides disagreeing with the way she represented Bush's views on almost every issue, I believe she is being dishonest to say she represents the state of NC while living in Kansas.
It is my understanding that a senator should reside in the state they are suppose to represent. Dole has a house in NC. That does not make her a resident.

We all have our reasons for supporting one candidate over another.
The immigration issue has emerged in recent years as a major issue in North Carolina. It's an issue that will only grow in importance as North Carolinians realize its profound impact on the quality of their lives. Dole is the best chance for North Carolina avoiding the fate of California.
I lived in southern California in the late nineties --- shortly after California voters approved Proposition 187 in 1994 by a 59 percent margin, only to have it struck down by a SINGLE federal judge --- appointed by DEMOCRAT Jimmy Carter.
Propostion 187 would have denied many services to illegal aliens.
California's appeal of the judge's decision, which may very well have been supported by the Supreme Court (as Prop 187's opponents well knew), was derailed/dropped by incoming DEMOCRAT governor Gray Davis (who was later recalled while in office) a the behest of ethnic pressure groups.
These are just two illustrations of just how dangerous the Democratic Party is. It IS a lapdog of ethnocentric (and leftist) pressure groups who know exactly what they are getting when they vote Democrat.
I like the apt words (shortly after the DEMOCRAT judge struck down 187) of soon-to-be and current California DEMOCRATIC Party Chairman, Art Torres, a true ethnic triumphalist, to a Latino audience:
"Power is not given to you. You have to take it. Remember, 187 is the last gasp of white America in California. Understand that.."
I did a piece on Prop 187 for EdNews.org. Listen to Torres at the audio link I provide in the first paragraph:
