Republicans dismissed the idea that Clinton would help Hagan on economic issues or health care, at least not with people who dont approve of Obama.
No matter how many times Bill Clinton visits North Carolina, the fact is Kay Hagan has voted in lockstep with President Obama, said National Republican Senatorial Committee spokeswoman Brook Hougesen.
But Clinton could stir up the party faithful, said Thomas Eamon, a political science professor at East Carolina University and the author of a new book about North Carolina politics, The Making of a Southern Democracy.
I also think that probably right at the moment his image, not only in the nation, but in North Carolina, is probably as good as a Democrats would be, he added.

And that's exactly what she did!
Democrats Hold Secret Meetings On Health Care
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) apparently didnt hear Obama promise to have open, televised discussions about health care reform. Instead, they are meeting in secret conferences and excluding Republicans from any input into the health care debate.
“...Clinton could stir up the party faithful...”
Everybody here seems to think it is only Dem voters who are getting burned by O-care, and the Dems must think it is only R voters who’ve been harmed.
As bad as the re-election of Obama was, as much as that says bad things about this nation; the failure to punish Hagen, et al. will be a thousand times worse.
If these boobs are returned to office (not all of them, but most of them) we’ll know the experiment in self-government has well and truly failed.
extra points for using the word “boobs” in a proper way in a Clinton-related thread
Maybe. Can she handle a cigar?
If the Big Choomer can’t help maybe the Big Groper can.
LOL!
Maybe, if she'll let him bring his new friends from the Bunny Ranch with him.
I witnessed my first Hagan vs Tillis commercial a few moments ago on Fox broadcast.
Tillis hates old people.
Did Kay offer him a bl*w job to come and help?
Bill, don’t forget to bring your prostitutes for the photo-op with you.
ROTFL.
=============================================
INCONVENIENT FACTOIDS:
<><> Sen Hagan said "Keep It" 24 times;
<><> Hagan sat on several committees that helped draft O/Care;
<><> Hagan voted for the bill she wrote that decimated North Carolinians affordable plans
<><> O/Care became law with a show of lock-stepping Dem party loyalty not seen since 1930-40's era Europe.
=========================================
Sen. Kay Hagan repeatedly promised, on at least 24 separate occasions, that North Carolina citizens would be able to keep their existing affordable health care plans once Obamacare went into effect (five years after Obama set it in motion).
However, at a recent presser, Hagan dodged the question as she announced her re-election.
One reporter asks, Much has been made about 'if you like you health care plan you can keep it,' but were still not sure about when exactly you learned that wasnt the case?"
The reporter gets specific: "....you were on a lot of committees that helped write the healthcare bill. Was there a specific time frame a day, a month, a week that you can narrow it, to when you learned that 'Keeping It' wasnt going to be the case?
Hagan ignores the reporter's pointed question.....she was again pressed for a response but walked away without answering.
400,000 THOUSAND NC'S ARE NOW UNINSURED: Hagan's vote caused 500,000 North Carolinians to be canceled. Only about 100,000 of those cancelled signed up for ACA (but may not have paid in). So NC ended up w/ roughly 400k additional uninsured.........thanks to Kay Hagan.
INCONVENIENT FACTOID Obamacare was preceded by Hillarycare----which went down in flames b/c Hillary held secret meetings.
============================================
AND NOW TO THE BUSINESS OF POLITICS ----In 2009, retiring Arkansas Rep. Marion Berry presciently warned that ObamaCare was setting up the Democrats for a huge 2010 midterms defeat (just like HillaryCare had led to a loss of 54 House seats in 1994).
Ego-driven Obama scoffed at such concerns. Berry said the president told him, Well, the big difference here and in 94 was youve got me.
END GAME Republicans went on to win 63 House seats and six Senate seats. It was the largest swing in the House since 1938. Looks like the "difference" was Obama (/snix).
================================================
BTW, Obama did not have to put on his thinking cap---b/c it was Hillary Clinton who whispered in his sweet little ears.
Yes, voters, it was Hillary who originally used the wonderfully reassuring if you like your plan, keep your plan a phrase that helped Obozo get reelected........and the talking point that Obama relied on during his fight to push Obamacare through Congress on an historic straight party-line all-Democrat vote.....
NOTE Hillary's 2007 campaign website was unearthed by America Rising. America's Rising found written on the website under "HILLARYCARE"---AKA Hillarys American Health Choices Plan---the phrase: if you have a plan you like, you keep it.
VIDEO of Hillary saying, "If you like your plan, you can keep your plan."

See a smiling Hillary (above) in 2007, saying: You can keep the doctors you know and trust. You keep the insurance you have. If you have private insurance you like, nothing changes, you can keep that insurance.
DNC-ISSUE BROWN SHIRTS.
