Dole “Fibbing” on Running a Positive Campaign, Effectiveness, Clout
Dole airs first negative television ad of campaign.
With a new poll showing state Senator and U.S. Senate Candidate Kay Hagan (D-Guilford) leading 50% to 45%, Elizabeth Dole has panicked and gone negative in an attempt to revive her sagging poll numbers and tepid support. Dole’s commercial says she has clout, but like her previous ads, Dole offers no concrete examples to back up her claim of so-called clout. She also continues to ignore her rating as number 93 out of all her Senate colleagues in terms of effectiveness, having voted with President Bush 92% of the time.
“It’s not a bit surprising that Elizabeth Dole would push the panic button and release the first negative ad approved by either candidate in this race. She had a lot of practice when she chaired the NRSC, bankrolling ads that even her Republican colleagues were embarrassed about,” said Hagan Communications Director Colleen Flanagan. “It’s obvious that there’s only one “fibber” in this campaign – Elizabeth Dole, who promised to run a positive campaign for re-election.”
