DOLE is CRUSHED 53/44% --THANK YOU DU for helping us make it happen in NC!!!!

Thanks for all the help we received from DU in ousting Liddy Dole from the US Senate seat that has remained in Republican hands for the past 30 years!

Your efforts have made a difference for all of us.

"Raleigh, N.C. — Support from women, blacks and young people and concern about the faltering economy helped Democrat state Sen. Kay Hagan unseat U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Dole and Beverly Perdue win the governor's race, according to an Associated Press exit poll.

The poll showed that Hagan received more than half of women's votes. Seven in 10 voters under the age of 29 also supported the state senator, along with nine in 10 blacks and nearly six in 10 voters who said they make under $50,000 a year.

The win makes Hagan the first Democrat to hold the seat since Sen. Jesse Helms took it for the GOP in 1972."

1. Don't forget to thank Dole also
She was instrumental in helping Kay win.

Thank you, old hag!

2. And thanks to Biddy Dole herself
who throughout her campaign only stopped shooting herself in the foot just long enough to reload. The "godless" snipe was the last straw. In her graceless concession speech last night, she couldn't resist one last jab by referring to the Pledge, emphasizing "under GAWWWD". Until that moment, I was merely annoyed with her and wholly unsatisfied with her voting record. After that, she earned my complete disgusted and disdain. She just wouldn't let it go, so we let her go.

Good riddance to bad rubbish.
