More love for Hagan

The U.S. Senate Campaign between state Sen. Kay Hagan and U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Dole continues to get love from the national press. The latest examples come from The Politico and The Washington Post's "The Fix" blog.

Politico names Hagan's victory one of their "Top 10 political upsets of 2008." The Fix calls Hagan's "the best Senate campaign of 2008," saying:

Hagan got into the race as a virtually unknown candidate both in North Carolina and nationally, but quickly showed a capacity to raise money that opened the eyes of many people in Washington. On her first trips to the nation's capital, she wowed even the most cynical of party operatives with a charisma about campaigning and a no-nonsense approach to what needed to be done to beat Dole.

But, she proved a strong -- and on-message -- candidate in her own right. When Dole went after Hagan in an ad for attending a fundraiser with the Godless Americans political action committee, Hagan was quick to respond with an effective (and cutting) response.
