Hagan's manager, off the record


Kay Hagan has hired a campaign manager.

And here's the first and last quote you might hear from her:

"I do not go on the record," said Crystal King, unprompted, to two reporters Monday after one of them asked her name, David Ingram reports.

King had just started to usher Hagan out of the State Board of Elections after filing as a Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate.

Not exactly a warm greeting.

A quick check on Google shows that the Ohio native has worked for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and for John Kerry's 2004 presidential campaign.

Hagan, 54, is serving her fifth term in the N.C. Senate from Greensboro. She is one of several Democrats hoping to face Republican U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Dole in November.

She has already lined up her top management team, which includes some Senate veteran staffers, but she has not yet publicly announced them.
