Schumer: N.C. could be in play

Sen. Chuck Schumer argues that North Carolina's Senate seat could be in play.

In a short video clip sent to donors, the head of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee asks for more money from around the country to help increase the majority in the Senate.

"We have a once-in-a-generation opportunity because in states like North Carolina and Mississippi and Kentucky, we are so close, but no Democrat is going to raise much money in those states because there just isn't much Democratic money," he says.

By some accounts, Schumer helped recruit state Sen. Kay Hagan to run against U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Dole. Chapel Hill investment banker Jim Neal is also in the Democratic primary.
