The CBS Evening News focused on the Senate race Friday.
In interviews with Katie Couric, Democratic candidate Kay Hagan argues that U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Dole has been ineffective, while Dole says she's helped promote jobs.
Couric also asks Dole why President Bush has not campaign for her, according to a transcript:
COURIC: But Dole's biggest negative may be the R next to her name, which in this traditionally Republican state has almost become a scarlet letter.
President Bush campaigned for you tirelessly in 2002 when you first ran, but he hasn't really shown up in North Carolina this go-'round. Why is that?
Sen. DOLE: Well, his father has been here, and Laura Bush has been in the state a couple of times.
Dole also says she thought the "rocking chair" ad was designed to be a snarky attack on her age.
Correction: An earlier version of this post misstated the day it aired.
