Dole Starting Robocalss On Hagan And Atheists
WRAL ^ | 11/2/08 | WRAL

Posted on 11/02/2008 4:13:46 AM PST by careyb

RALEIGH, N.C. — Incumbent GOP Sen. Elizabeth Dole continued Saturday to question her campaign rival's attendance at a fundraiser hosted by an adviser to an atheist advocacy group, beginning a round of automated calls that includes clips of Kay Hagan trying to explain her decision to attend.

Dole's campaign began sending out automated telephone calls that talks about Hagan, a Democratic state senator, and the Godless Americans Political Action Committee. Dole's campaign said 1.3 million calls are planned through Monday.

Hagan has sued Dole over her initial television ad about the fundraiser, accussing her of defamation and libel. The initial spot concludes with a picture of Hagan while another woman says, "There is no God." Hagan is an elder at her Presbyterian church and has responded with an ad that strongly declares her Christian faith.

I have done my 'homework' and polls have recently shown Dole up in NC.

I guess that these are all wrong then? Face it, Dole ignored her state and her constituency, and is paying the price for it. These kind of ads show just how desperate she really is.

Mason-Dixon Polling & Research Inc. surveyed 800 likely voters statewide between last Wednesday and Friday and found Dole leads Democratic challenger Kay Hagan by 46 to 42 percent.

Stop spreading misinformation.

Why is your poll superior to Rausmussen? And I would like a link. What I posted was not misinformation. Admit it. And 30% of NC has already voted - probably higher now.

Entering the month of June, our targets for the month were set so that the sample would include 9.44% more Democrats than Republicans.

Now, why would they poll more 10% more Democrats then Republicans when NC is mostly a Republican State that is going to elect a Republican Governor this election?

So you can make it appear that the Republican is behind in the polls.

What does the amount of early voters have to do with anything?

Dole will hold that seat.

Poll: Dole leads Senate race, but plenty still undecided Posted: Oct. 29, 2008 Raleigh, N.C. — U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Dole is supported by many North Carolina voters whom other Republican candidates haven't reached, according to a new WRAL News poll.

Just FYI. Mason-Dixon is the gold standard of state polls, especially in the south. In 2004, Drudge had a headline declaring the exit polls showed Dole getting crushed. She won.

You are serving as a prime example of what the MSM wishes to accomplish with their polls. You are discouraged and you are sharing your discouragement here. Hagan may win. Heck, Obama may even win NC. But to believe any polls now, or allow them to discourage you at this point, makes no sense whatsoever.

The Obama Marxists have hired people to do this exact same thing on forums throughout the country. They know that when the Republican base doesn't show up, they will win.

NC hasn’t elected a Republican governor in 20 years. Get your facts first. Stop spreading misinformation. And the state is a toss-up for president this year. Check your polls.

Yes, and the GOP base is turning out in force and will elect an GOP Governor and re-elect Dole and put the State into the McCain column.

Now, I know you are a troll.

The fact that a Republican Governor is going to be elected has been posted constantly on these threads.

Stop posting misinformation.

I disagree. If the negative add is inaccurate, then the candidate must be held accountable, but if there is negative stuff out about you (no birth certificate and possibly born in Kenya, 20 year connection to racist preacher, socialist / marxist leanings, supporting athiest groups that want to destroy Christianity, etc) then those are valid and do influence the uninformed when they finally hear about it.

It is more effective with them then trying to explain how deeply tied up the Democrats are in our economic collapse.

Jim needs to clean up our rolls.

I wish we could click on a name and see the posting history and then look at their posts. Some of these sleepers go back years.

"(McCrory) threw a monkey wrench into the governor's race," said longtime state Democratic operative Brad Crone. "There was a general assumption that Perdue had the upper hand ... (but) it is truly up for grabs."

According to a Public Policy Poll released today, Charlotte Mayor Pat McCrory leads Lt. Governor Beverly Perdue in the Governor's race. The poll puts McCrory at 44% while Perdue is pulling in 41% of sampled voters.

Answer this question. When was the last time a Republican governor WAS ELECTED?

By the way, I would assume you know how to look at my prior posts and know I am not a troll. That would make you a liar if you continue to refer to me as such. You don’t want a reputation as a liar, do you?

As I said, I voted for Dole as did my family. The early turnout in NC has been huge. Unfortunately, there are big pools of liberals in NC. As for polls, I believe the ones I like and discount those I don’t - just like everyone else. But the FACT is that NC has not elected a Republican governor for many years. Hopefully that will change this year because so many residents dislike Easley. He’s a Dem for those who don’t know.

I’ve never been a big Liddy Dole fan, she’s rarely if ever in this state, for any reason, unless it’s election season. But, that said, Kay Hagan doesn’t have a conservative bone in her body, so I’ll take Liddy, warts and all.

This ad uproar is classic misdirection. Hagan attended a party hosted by this Godless PAC. She accepted a donation or donations from this PAC. She got called on it in an ad from the Dole camp. Now, she’s squealling loudly that she’s Presbyterian. Note that the ad merely stated who Kay Hagan’s supporters were.
