Is Kay Hagan hoping to run on Barack Obama's coattails?
The Washington Post included the Democratic Senate nominee on a list of candidates who are hoping for a boost from the presidential race:
Democratic Senate campaign spokesmen for Tom Allen in Maine, Kay Hagan in North Carolina, Al Franken in Minnesota and Rick Noriega in Texas all said they had reached out to the Obama campaign and are pleading for either a visit from the candidate or his wife. Their efforts are not entirely surprising, given Obama’s strength in those states during the Democratic primaries.
Hagan did not attend a Raleigh rally in mid-June, citing scheduling conflicts.
