Hagan and ObamaKay Hagan had her picture taken with Barack Obama.

In a sign of the Democratic presidential candidate's perceived strength in North Carolina, the Senate candidate got a snapshot with him at a Charlotte rally on Sept. 21.

The photo is available for download on Hagan's Flickr site and her campaign Web site and has shown up on Hagan supporters' Facebook profiles, among other places.

She also had two casual photos taken of the two talking with a voter.

Democratic gubernatorial candidate Beverly Perdue had a snapshot taken with Obama for use on a mailer sent to black voters in the primary.

Although U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Dole was closely tied to George W. Bush in 2002, it's unusual for a North Carolina Democratic Senate candidate to be so closely — and visibly — tied to the party's presidential nominee.

Ironic that Perdue used a photo of Obama in a targeted mailer in the primary but has avoided him at all costs in the general election.

The Hagan/Obama/Rev. Wright Agenda

Submitted by alterac on September 30, 2008 - 12:59pm.

Kay Hagan, Barack Hussein Obama, and Jermiah Wright have an agenda. For people like Rev. Jeremiah Wright,and Kay Hagan, mass Black incarceration and slavery are seamlessly linked, part of the continuity of racial oppression in the U.S. Most African Americans see the world the way Rev. Wright does - that's why he's among the top five rated preacher-speakers in Black America. This Black American world view, excruciatingly aware of the nation's origins in genocide and slavery, is wholly incompatible with the American mythology championed by Barack Obama. When the two meet, they are mutually repellant
