A representative of the N.C. Association of Broadcasters says it invited U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Dole to speak as a sitting senator, not a candidate.
But North Carolina's other U.S. senator, Richard Burr, was also in Asheville this weekend, and his staffers say they do not recall an invitation to speak at today's broadcasting association meeting, Barb Barrett reports.
The group invited both Dole and Democratic opponent Kay Hagan to debate. Hagan agreed, but Dole did not. But Dole gave the keynote speech instead.
Wade Hargrove, the association's longtime attorney, said that Dole would have been invited whether there was a campaign or not.
According to the Center for Responsive Politics, Hargrove gave Dole’s campaign committee $1,000 last December.
