“This looks like a smart move given the polls on the current invasion and vulnerable Senate Dems up for election this year (In Red states) very nervous about it.’
Today Kay Hagan’s campaign site, as well as many progressive supporters in NC, are touting a study by the self proclaimed “non-partisan” National Journal that she is the most moderate US Senator. Interesting the NJ study examines only 117 of the 261 votes cast in the Senate last year but Hagan’s website and the media reports in the major NC newspapers are not mentioning the methodology. They are trying to hide the fact she voted with Obama 95% of the time when all votes cast by the Senate are examined.
More spin but it seems to work with some voters especially with her Republican opponent Tom Tillis and GOP Governor McCrory being vilified by the press and Democrat associated political action groups everyday. Plus Hagan has a big war chest and benefits from significant advertising spending by leftist organizations. Tillis seems invisible in the media and is far behind Hagan in fundraising. He is also trailing in the polls.
Money and message count in politics. If you have neither it is tough to win. Unfortunately I get this eerie feeling this NC Senate race may be similar to the Obama/Romney campaign of 2012. Tillis needs a strong message, needs money to get the message out, and needs to be fighting.

Of all GOP Senators I despise Sen Garhamnesty the most and yet had to watch GOP candidates flounder around and hand it right to him, and him gloating about winning again.
” . Tillis needs a strong message, needs money to get the message out, and needs to be fighting.”
Bingo!
