Again, a OUTSIDE Democratic Senator who is responsible for spending up to $8 million in ads attacking Dole will not allow Hagan to be independent AT ALL. They would keep reminding her you need to vote with us becuase we bougfht that race for you. We do not need that kind of influence peddling here, period.

McCaskill backs Hagan in letter

Sen. Claire McCaskill, a Democrat from Missouri, has sent out a fund raising letter criticizing her colleague, Republican Sen. Elizabeth Dole.

"You deserve more from your U.S. senator — you deserve someone who will represent North Carolinians," said McCaskill in an email mailed out by the campaign of Democrat Kay Hagan, Rob Christensen reports.

"Elizabeth Dole registered to vote in North Carolina just two days after it was announced that Jesse Helms' seat was up for grabs," McCaskill writes. "She even ran for president as a Kansan well before she thought about running for the U.S. Senate in North Carolina. Just like you, I'm ready to join you in handing her a pair of Ruby Red Slippers so she can click her heels three times and go back to Kansas."

McCaskill also criticized Dole, while speaking to a North Carolina delegation breakfast at the Democratic convention.
