DOLE GOES DOWN!! --NEW POLL in NC --Liddy Dole TRAILS Kay Hagan by 3 pts! LINK

[Blackhatjack]

When Hagan entered the race to contest Dole's seat many higher profile potential candidates had already bowed out. However, Dole is vulnerable. Now is the time to kick her and her Bush supporting Senate votes to the curb!

http://www.newsobserver.com/722/story/1195717.html


"Public Policy Polling, a Democratic firm in Raleigh, released new numbers Tuesday showing Hagan edging Dole 42-39 among likely voters. That's not far off the margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3.3 percentage points. The survey of 904 likely voters was conducted Aug. 20-23."

4. Holy Crap!

The pundits figured she was safe!
Do I hear 60 anyone? Come onnnnn 60!

Hopefully it will turn more heads ... I'm drowning here in a sea of red!

[jenmito]

12. And that's why WE need to run ads like that against McCain!

It'll WORK!

[Blackhatjack]

14. I will Second That Motion! IT would hit McCain hard here in NC....

[jenmito]

16. Thanks, Blackhatjack...

and it wouldn't be from Obama himself, but an "independent" group. :D

[gateley]

23. Cool - I don't watch TV so I didn't know these were running.

Hope they make a difference!

[DuaneBidoux]

8. Be careful though, it is a partisin group so care should be taken in reading it.

9. For a moment, I thought Bob had fallen off another stage

But this is even better news.

10. I have been telling people in NC for the past year that Dole was vulnerable...

... and so many just brushed it off claiming her machine and support were unbeatable.

The truth is that she is in real trouble, and tv ads being run against her are taking their toll.

With Obama at the top of the ticket, and NC having a large number of African American voters, Dole is going to have to siphon off an extremely large number of registered Democrats to keep her seat --and quite frankly, North Carolinians are very upset with extended military deployments, the economy, etc.

May Dole fall in November ... and if you have a couple of bucks to donate, Kay Hagan could use it to help us go over the 60 vote Democratic majority we need in the US Senate!

[SuperTrouper]

13. Amen

[elkston]

26. Yeah, those 93% ads are perfect and are WORKING!

15. Goodbye, Bag o' Hairspray. nt

[Island Blue]

19. Yay!!!

:woohoo:

[maseman]

20. We cannot lose sight

that it is just as important to pick up Senate seats and House seats as it is to win the POTUS seat. If, Gawd forbid, Obama doesn't pull it off then having a 58 seat majority in the Senate and a 25 seat lead in the House would be a great muzzle for McCain.

[Blackhatjack]

22. No Kidding! IT would be "obstruct, obstruct, obstruct 24/7" n/t

[Blackhatjack]

21. Another point... Dole never shows up in NC until she comes up for reelection...

The bloom is definitely off the rose for her ... but there are lots of Repubs and Independents who still support her.

Republicans cannot change the fact that Obama is on the ballot --and many African Americans and young people who would not have voted in the past WILL SHOW UP TO VOTE DEMOCRATIC this time!

[K8-EEE]

24. Her new "Joker" plastic surgery ain't helping.

Creepy! Both her and the hub made the "awful plastic surgery" site.

31. GAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Man WHY do women do that? Especially the eyebrow thing....just plain scary.

[Arugula Latte]

32. I don't know...I guess they think the freaky zombie look makes them look young.

:eyes:

[Demi_Babe]

25. AWESOME

[Doctor_J]

27. Did the results match the exit polling in NC in 2004?

Any seat in a state where Diebold holds sway is probably not in danger. OTOH, any Repuke in a state with honest elections is probably doomed.

29. Thanks for cranking up the excitement! See earlier post

34. I've been doing a lot of volunteer work for Kay Hagan here in NC

We're going to pull it out!!

[No Elephants]

41. Good on you! Hope you're right. Best wishes.

[musicblind]

35. This is why I tell you Obama is going to win NC

I was told, how "oh no, I'm a newbie who doesn't know what he is talking about." But Obama WILL win NC.

[Divine Discontent]

39. right on! eom

[wiggs]

42. Hot senate race will increase turnout in contested state...should help Obama. What are

chances of a Dole VP?

[Blackhatjack]

43. The Dole Campaign realizes they are in big trouble here in NC...

We have too many Republicans who are disenchanted with the state of affairs under Republican rule, and Dole cannot run from her record of supporting the Bush Administration.

IMHO Obama AND Hagan will help each other here in NC.
