Elizabeth Dole (R) is suddenly in serious trouble against state Sen. Kay Hagan (D). This is a state where the DSCC's massive financial advantage could make the difference; they are hammering Dole relentlessly and have been for some time. Can Dole find another gear? If she doesn't, this could be the surprise upset of the cycle.
