North Carolina Senate
Kay Hagan 51
Elizabeth Dole 44
Christopher Cole 3

Elizabeth Dole’s ‘Godless Americans’ ad has clearly blown up in her face, as Kay Hagan has now expanded her lead to seven points.

The ad may have helped Hagan to get Democrats unified around her, as that’s where most of the movement in the last week has come. Where Hagan led only 76-18 within her party a week ago, those numbers have now improved to...

While Newspapers Across the State Condemn Dole’s Attacks, She Continues To Lie about Kay Hagan’s Record on Immigration

November 1, 2008

GREENSBORO, NC- While major newspapers from one end of the state to the other condemn Elizabeth Dole for her despicable attacks, calling them “indecent,” a “gross misrepresentation,” “worse than dishonest,” and “beyond the bounds of acceptable political disagreement,” Dole continues to lie about Kay Hagan and her record.

New Ad: Kay Directly Addresses Her Christian Faith, Dole Tactics, What This Race Is Really About

Charlotte Observer: Unless (Dole) admits this egregious, shameful mistake and acts appropriately, Elizabeth Dole has no place in N.C. politics

Fayetteville Observer: We understand Dole’s desperation. The polls show she’s trailing Hagan, and she’s dipping into her own pocket to support her campaign. But jumping into the deep end of the slime pool is no way to catch up.

Kay: Economy Shrinking, While Big Oil, Gas Report Another Record Quarter; Working Families Left Hanging out to Dry

THIS is what the campaign for North Carolina’s U.S. Senate seat is about; North Carolina families deserve better than what they’ve gotten

October 30, 2008

GREENSBORO, NC- Reuters today reported that the U.S. economy shrank in the third quarter, the sharpest contraction in seven years, resulting in large part from increased consumer and business concerns about the economy. At the same time, Exxon Mobil reported another record-breaking quarter, topping out at $14.83 billion, exceeding their previous record by more than $3 billion.

“This is exactly why we need new leadership in Washington,” said state Senator and U.S. Senate Candidate Kay Hagan (D-Guilford). “On one hand, you have consumers...

GREENSBORO, N.C. – State Senator and U.S. Senate Candidate Kay Hagan (D-Guilford) received the official endorsement of Ocean Champions, a non-partisan group that supports candidates who are willing to make ocean protection a priority on their legislative agendas in order to create a political environment where ocean protection is a priority of government.

Dole Must Join McCain in Calling for Stevens To Resign; If He Chooses Not To, Dole Must Push for Expulsion

October 28, 2008

GREENSBORO, NC- Republican Presidential Candidate John McCain (R-AZ) today called on convicted felon Senator Ted Stevens (R-AK) to resign from the Senate, sparing the Republicans any further embarrassment just days before the election. Kay Hagan’s U.S. Senate Campaign called on Elizabeth Dole to join McCain in calling for Stevens’ resignation, and if he chooses to keep his seat, Elizabeth Dole should push for Stevens’ expulsion.

“Ted Stevens is a convicted felon, and Elizabeth Dole thinks it’s acceptable for him to continue to vote on the Senate floor on behalf of Alaskans and Americans,” asked Hagan Campaign Communications Director Colleen Flanagan. “On issues ranging from shoring up our economy to increasing...

Kay Hagan on Wall Street Bonuses: Slap in the Face to Taxpayers; Wall Street Got Away with a Slap on the Wrist

October 28, 2008

GREENSBORO, N.C. – In an unbelievable report by Bloomberg detailing that some employees at Lehman Brothers will get the same bonus they received a year ago, and average bonuses at Merrill Lynch will actually exceed the amount employees received a year ago – an average of $110,000 per employee this year, versus $108,000 last year – State Senator and U.S. Senate Candidate Kay Hagan (D-Guilford) released the following statement, reacting in outrage to the situation.

“This is a slap in the face to taxpayers in North Carolina and nationwide. While Wall Street got away with only a slap on the wrist when the markets collapsed, working families were left to foot the bill,” said Kay. “Congress and the President approved...

Hagan Campaign Demands Dole Return $11K from Convicted Felon Senator Ted Stevens; Oppose Any Bush Pardon of Stevens

October 27, 2008

GREENSBORO, NC- Alaska Senator Ted Stevens (AK) was found guilty today on all counts. According to the indictment, Stevens “knowingly and willfully engaged in a scheme to conceal a material fact” covering up the gifts he received from an Alaskan oil company.

“Elizabeth Dole returned only a portion of the $21,000 Ted Stevens gave to her campaign when he was indicted. He’s now a convicted felon and any excuse she had previously has gone out the window. Dole must now return the remaining $11,000, or else send the message to North Carolinians that she and her colleagues in the U.S. Senate, like Ted Stevens, are open for business,” Hagan Campaign Communications Director Colleen Flanagan said....

Dole Joins Hayes in Divisive Attacks on Faith, Family, Country

Dole accepts $1,300 from Hayes after antagonistic comments; continues plunge into “slime pool” by attacking Kay’s Christian faith

October 27, 2008

GREENSBORO, N.C. – Elizabeth Dole accepted $1,300 from Representative Robin Hayes, just days after he made headlines for using divisive rhetoric differentiating between people who love America, and those who hate America. At a rally for Republican presidential candidate John McCain, Hayes said, “Liberals hate real Americans that work and accomplish and achieve and believe in God.” Hayes denied making the comments until an audio recording of the speech surfaced and he was forced to own up to the gaffe.

Yesterday, Dole made similar remarks implying that those...

Dole Attempts the "Straight Talk Express" Route

October 24, 2008

GREENSBORO, N.C. – Trying the “Straight Talk Express” route, Elizabeth Dole released a new ad featuring her direct into the camera talking about the reasons why she deserves to be re-elected. Dole says she believes elected officials should “be straight” with voters despite the fact that she has dodged every single televised debate with Kay, spent just 13 days in North Carolina in 2006 and has run quite possibly the least-accessible campaign in North Carolina this election cycle.

In the ad, Dole claims that “nothing good comes from raising taxes.” But Dole herself has supported raising taxes since 1982 when she was a member of President Reagan’s cabinet. Furthermore, Dole voted...

GREENSBORO, N.C. – State Senator and U.S. Senate Candidate Kay Hagan (D-Guilford) released a new ad that illustrates how Elizabeth Dole’s special interest politics have cost North Carolina good-paying jobs and hurt the state’s hardworking families. The ad highlights Kay’s commitment to stimulating job growth and making North Carolina one of the best states in which to do business.

Today: Dole Skips Another Crucial Banking Committee Hearing

October 23, 2008

GREENSBORO, N.C. – Elizabeth Dole, who has been silent in over 60 Banking Committee hearings, was silent today during yet another Banking Committee hearing, after skipping another one late last week. The chairwoman of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and the treasury official responsible for running the bailout both testified before members of the Senate Banking Committee this morning. Despite a pledge in mid-September to use her seat on the Banking Committee to “examine the causes and implications of [the financial] turmoil” Elizabeth Dole was not present at today’s hearing.

“Since she spent more than $86,000 on air travel and chartered flights in the third quarter alone,...

New NRSC Ad: The Only Blank Check in This Race Is the One Elizabeth Dole Gives President Bush

Every major newspaper endorsement has gone to Kay, citing Dole’s rubber-stamp for Bush and ineffectiveness for North Carolinians

October 23, 2008

Greensboro, NC- Becoming increasingly desperate with only 12 days left, the National Republican Senatorial Committee today released a new ad today attacking Kay for the way they believe she might vote as a U.S. Senator. The bigger problem? We know how their candidate, Elizabeth Dole has voted over the past 6 years, and it’s not with North Carolina. The only blank check in this race is the one Elizabeth Dole has given to President George Bush.

“Unfortunately for Senator Dole and the NRSC, Kay has been endorsed by every major daily newspaper in the state, all of which have...
