US Senate 2008

Hello everyone. I hope you are not too snowed in this weekend! I just wanted to share an email that my wife, Holly, sent out on Friday regarding Kevin Foy endorsing my campaign for Senate ... and some other news.

Best,

Ken Lewis

In an article in "Politics magazine" Marty Ryall, campaign manager for Elizabeth Dole's ill-faithed US Senate campaign, explains why they ran the now infamous "godless" ad.

Liddy Dole just rolled out a new attack ad on Kay Hagan--one that, to my mind, went several miles over the line.

Let's see here now--portraying your opponent, who happens to be a woman, as a yipping dog. Am I the only one who thinks Dole just called Hagan a "bitch"? I've seen some dirty, below-the-belt attack ads in my time, but this takes the cake.

"Maybe Elizabeth Dole doesn't stand by her ad because she knows that for the past six years she hasn't been standing up for North Carolina's families."

Today the NCDP filed their second ethics complaint in a week against Elizabeth Dole. This time its Federal Election Law that Elizabeth Dole has violated. For more, continue below the fold.

Today the NCDP filed an ethics complaint against Senator Elizabeth Dole. This could be a good one.

Last Friday night Jim Neal and BlueNC blogger Sam Spencer came to Asheboro to meet some of our Randolph County voters. About 22 people came to the Coffee Xchange, kindly provided by good Dem G.P. Hanspal, and asked Jim questions for over an hour.

The debate between the five Democratic candidates running to take on Elizabeth Dole in the general election is available as a podcast from Public Radio East. Those participating were Duskin Lassiter of Lexington, Marcus Williams of Lumberton, Jim Neal of Chapel Hill, Howard Staley of Moncure and Kay Hagan of Greensboro. Megen George, News Director for PRE moderated the debate. A very generous grant from Chestnut, Clemmons & Peacock, P.A. made the live broadcast possible.
