A new newspaper endorsement is a good news, bad news thing for U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Dole.
On the bright side, the endorsement notes that "she's remained a fiscal conservative, in touch with her constituents," and focused on tobacco buyouts, immigration, military bases and other issues.
On the downside, it's from the conservative Washington Times — as in Washington, D.C., not Washington, N.C.
The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee immediately pounced, noting that Democrat Kay Hagan has received the endorsement of 11 state newspapers, including ones in Charlotte, Raleigh, Greensboro, Durham, and Wilmington.
"North Carolina Democratic Senate candidate Kay Hagan’s unanimous streak of newspaper endorsements finally came to an end today as Elizabeth Dole’s hometown newspaper, the Washington, D.C.-based Washington Times, became the first major newspaper to endorse her re-election," noted spokesman Matthew Miller, tongue in cheek.

Re: Doles 'hometown' paper endorses?

You know the last time that a uneducated group of people drank the Kool-Aid...they all died and it was called Jonestown.
I am so elated to hear you pronounce that you do not care about New York, but if you are planning to vote for Kay Hagan, then you must have some positive sentiments for New York.
Ten months ago, did you hear who Kay Hagan was or know anything about her. No.
$20 million dollars later, as a result of the negative ads paid for by Chuck Schumer (from NY- you most intelligent excuse of a self-thinking individual)
have attacked, attacked, and attacked Senator Dole. Kay Hagan has been instructed to shut her mouth, while ole Chuckie takes care of everything.
Hagan in fact has dodged a multitude of issues...especially the Bailout Bill. For crying outloud she was a banker, yet she could not make a decision on the Bailout Bill.
Keep drinking the Kool-Aid and accept socialism because it is on its way...and the greatest country in the world will be crumbling before your very eyes.
Everyone on this blog should research how FDR's policies prolonged the depression by 7 years.

This is exactly what Obama and the liberals want.
Kay Hagan is $20 million in debt to the DSCC and other liberal groups, so it should be a forgone conclusion that she will just be a blank check for the their ultra liberal agenda...
If only the media and journalist were worth a damn...it could easily conclude that the Democrats are very much so responsible for our current financial mess.
Why do you think Pelosi does not want to start the investigations of Fannie and Freddie until after the election? Perhaps they are hiding the truth.
