"...valuable to the Democrats, however, is her willingness to embrace the Democratic agenda. She stands in agreement with the Democratic Party on virtually every issue.
MARSHALL SUPPORTS:
1. Investing in infrastructure
2. Offering economic support to state and local governments
3. Investing in "green" technology
4. Resisting privatization of Social Security
5. Healthcare reform
6. Building international relationships
7. Avoiding long-term military engagements in the name of fighting terrorism
8. Wall Street financial reform

Historically, no incumbent has won re-election in North Carolina to the U.S Senate since 1968..."
one correction, Martha
No incumbent has won reelection to THIS SEAT since 1968. Unfortunately, Jesse Helms kept winning.

Yep, that's historically correct
That was a quote from Yahoo. writer of the story I quoted. However, I knew better and should have corrected it here and in my story.
Thanks to all who cheered on Elaine Marshall on this blog last night. It encouraged me if no one else. She so much deserves to win.
As the old proverb says, "Haste makes waste."
