You seem to be misinformed. During her time in office, Senator Dole has certainly come to greater Wilmington. I've seen her, where were you? And she is often on a local talk radio broadcast right here in Wilmington. She has agreed to attend the only state candidate forum/debate to be held in Southeastern North Carolina, at Cape Fear Community College, October 24, while Kay Hagen has so far declined. Looks like Hagan is off to a great start at shunning southeastern NC...something Bev Perdue is also very fond of doing. Your stock (remember Hagan's oil stock) political attacks, are designed to work on voters who do not know the records of the candidates. Elizabeth Dole, a native North Carolinian, has been serving the people and telling the truth for decades. She's been responsible for legislation that has helped southeastern NC. What has Kay Hagen done in her short and lack luster tenure? If the high heel fits, wear it.
