Google Ad targets Hagan

A negative Google Ad is up on Kay Hagan.

A search for the Democratic Senate nominee's name returns the following ad:

Say Nay to Kay Hagan
Tax-And-Spend Liberal.
Budget Catastrophe. Stop Her Now.
www.NRSC.org/Hagan
North Carolina

The ad appears to be paid for by the National Republican Senatorial Committee, although the link takes you to a page about U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Dole.

The page www.nrsc.org/hagan returns an error message, and the black-and-white image of Hagan on the Dole page doesn't link anywhere.

Dole used to head the NRSC, which is one of the major outside groups that advertises in Senate races. It does not appear likely that the NRSC will get involved in the North Carolina race this year.

At a recent debate, Dole called on Hagan to reject outside advertising.
