Hagan mulling again?
Over at Talking About Politics, Gary Pearce says Democratic Sen. Kay Hagan is mulling over jumping back in the U.S. Senate contest:
Hagan, a state senator from Greensboro, had looked at running earlier. She pulled back because Senator Charles Schumer from New York, who chairs the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, was intent on recruiting Grier Martin. Martin eventually opted out. Now Hagan is reconsidering. She's being wooed by North Carolina Democrats - and by Schumer. The garrulous New Yorker's first task was to eat crow with Hagan.
Hagan would be lining up to take on Jim Neal in the primary before challenging incumbent Republican Elizabeth Dole.
Hagan represents Greensboro. Neal is from Greensboro. Throw in Bob Crumley running for AG, Troxler running to keep his seat as Ag Commissioner, and this would make the Gate City pretty darned relevant in the 2008 statewide elections.
