GREENVILLE — U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Dole said today that she would be happy to debate her Democratic challenger, Kay Hagan.
Responding to reporters after touring a hospital in Greenville, Dole dismissed claims that she is dodging debates, reports Barb Barrett.
"We've already had one, as you know," Dole said. "There are others that I think are being looked at, and I am happy to do whatever."




Re: Dole: Happy to debate
The one thing Dole has going for her is her charisma and Southern charm. She comes through well on TV, with her sappy, folksy appeals to the past. Why would she not want to debate more? She's behind, and she comes across better on TV than Hagan does. Oh well. I'm fine with her only on-air exposure being the very effective DSCC and Hagan ads.
