Hagan is running into the same problem McCrory has in the Governor's race - the opposition just has considerably more money.

U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Dole says she raised more than $2.1 million in the second quarter.

In a press release, the Salisbury Republican's campaign announced that it had $2.7 million in cash on hand at the end of the second quarter.

"With about 12 thousand donors and a $148 average contribution, Senator Dole is honored to have the support of so many dedicated North Carolinians and we are excited about the success of our grassroots fundraising effort," said campaign manager Marty Ryall in a statement.

The Dole campaign noted that those figures were starting from April 1. The amount from April 17 forward
was $1.69 million.

Democratic rival Kay Hagan said earlier this week that she raised $1.6 million since April 1, or $1.5 million since April 17. Her cash on hand was 1.2 million.

That means that Dole had 2 1/4 times as much cash at the end of the quarter.
