Wash Post: Dole-Hagan race No. 8

The Washington Post's Chris Cillizza has bumped up North Carolina's U.S. Senate race between incumbent Republican Elizabeth Dole and Democratic state Sen. Kay Hagan to No. 8 in his latest ranking, and the Hagan campaign was quick to send it round to the press. Here's what he wrote Friday morning:
8. North Carolina (R): Sen. Elizabeth Dole (R) knows she is in for a very tough race against state Sen. Kay Hagan (D). Witness her decision to begin running ads in recent days that tout her ability to deliver for the state -- ads that never make mention of her party affiliation or President George W. Bush. It's a sound strategy in such a difficult political environment, but you can bet Hagan and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee will do their darndest to ensure every voter in the state knows Dole voted with Bush more than 90 percent of the time in her first term. Having now met Hagan in person, we can testify that she is a talented candidate and, as a woman, will be in a better position than 2002 nominee Erskine Bowles to attack Dole aggressively. (Previous ranking: 9)
He also quotes National Republican Senatorial Committee Chairman John Ensign of Nevada that a small loss in the Senate would be the "best case" scenario for the GOP this fall. Read more about it here (second item down at the moment).

If Bush had to run again , he woiuld be handcuffed and marched out of the Whitehouse; Lets fae it anyone who is associated with Georgy is in deep doo doo; And how about the first AFRICAN AMERICAN police chief in Charlotte; Will this persuade more Blacks to come to Charlotte you bet; I predict Charlotte will be %60 percent black much like Savannah, Ga. I think he will do a great job and they needed someone as a role model.

The new police chief I do believe was in Washington for a while so he knows how to handle a wild crowd and Charlotte is looking like dodge city.
