Boy I sure hope SO SO SO!!! Dole has done NOTHING but sit on her a** her whole term. Most of the time she's the "unknown"!

Dole could be the poster girl for puppet politicians. She is a rich man's Stepford wife who was installed to carry water for the corporate interests in Washington D.C.
Since Dole and other conservative politicians think daddy government should be allowed to stick its big nose into bedrooms and into private family planning and reproductive rights decisions -- then why don't reporters ask her what kind of birth control she and Bob practiced during her child bearing years? Isn't that relevant to the whole issue of reproductive rights?

Mrs. Hagan is a formidable politician. She is well funded and has a history behind her of being responsive to her constituents. Further, as has been mentioned above, Mrs. Dole isn't surrounded by North Carolinians like Richard Burr, whose staff is from here and responds well to constituent requests. As has been proven by Jesse Helms and Howard Coble, to name a few, constituent service (one person at a time) is very important. Mrs. Dole has spent little time here and won't be able to argue that Mrs. Hagan is a carpet bagging daughter of Florida's former governor Lawton Chiles.

Elizabeth who????
Yes, Kay Hagan can win hands down. I know from personal experience that she is responsive to constituent needs. I'm a registered Republican, but Kay has my vote.

This question is posed to attract Hagan supporters like moths to a flame.
Elizabeth Dole has done an superlative job for North Carolina. When I have called her office I have mostly spoken with legislative assistants but they were prompt and responsive. This woman was head of the red cross and has contributed greatly to this state and country. Frankly I think she would have been a good president back when she ran.
I am registered noncommited but will be voting for and supporting Elizabeth Dole.
Kay Hagan has her supporters and friends of mine who know her personally have said that she is a "do anything to get elected" type of politician who will allow those who fund her compaign to craft her legislative agenda. I have had enough of that, and prefer people who stand up for their own principles.

Did anyone notice that Kay Hagan received MORE VOTES than Hillary Clinton?
