Kay Hagan sinks lower in North Carolina polls

Didn’t have much choice...the GOP in NC deserves a tremendous amount of credit for taking the fight to the opposition since 2008; that’s why they’re a majority party in the state and will send Kay Hagan home this fall.

I only wish the GOP in neighboring VA would follow the model and start winning elections again. We have a great opportunity this fall with Ed Gillespie, if the GOP-e and the Tea Party can quit bickering long enough to get behind him. If not, Mark Warner will be a senator-for-life, and a lot of us in the Old Dominion will be looking for employment and housing options in places like Tennessee.

As for Arkansas, Tom Cotton is a lightning-in-a-bottle candidate who only comes around so often. Whip smart; Harvard Law grad, former Army infantry officer and Ranger. Cut from the same cloth as Ted Cruz and tailor-made for a conservative electorate who’s ready to get rid of Mark Pryor. In fact, the only Dim who might give Cotton a run for his money is the current governor, Mike Beebe. But the governor will be 70 at the end of his current term, and there’s some belief that he’s ready to call it a career.

Put another way: outside of Mark Pryor, there are very few Dims in Arkansas who want to mount a losing battle against Tom Cotton. They are more that happy to let Pryor go down in flames and examine their options down the road. I can also say there are a fair number of Dims in Arkansas who are tired of the Pryors, who’ve gotten rich at the public trough.

"...spent more than $8 million so far on advertising attacking Hagan -- more than the group has funneled to any other race so far this election cycle."

Yeah baby...you got to eat the elephant (or donkey in this case), 'one bite at a time!'

I wonder if there is a magic poll number she has to reach before she drops out due to “health” or “family” and the Democrats bring in a ringer. John Edwards?

If they don't have someone to take her out in a primary, they'll just have to tough it out, like they did with whats'ername in Arkansas last time.

Got to get the obligatory “Koch Brothers” comment in there, don’t they. The Examiner is fairly conservative, so I don’t understand why they did it.

So why did he pass an amnesty bill?
