Hagan will not be in Denver


Kay Hagan will not attend the Democratic National Convention.

The Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate has too many other things to do in North Carolina, her campaign told Dome in an e-mail Thursday.

"75 days until the election as of today and there aren't enough hours in the day," Hagan spokeswoman Colleen Flanagan wrote.

Incumbent U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Dole is not attending her convention either. Last month, the Salisbury Republican's campaign also cited a desire to spend time in North Carolina.

In 2004, the two major candidates for U.S. Senate split. Democrat Erskine Bowles skipped his party's convention in Boston. Republican Richard Burr attended the GOP gathering in New York.

Re: Hagan will not be in Denver

Hagan's STAFF cannot even answer emailed questions for Hagan...she needs to get some new better worker bees to handle the email, at least...
