Democrats Look to Cooper to Challenge Dole

[Adlai Stevenson]

Many "Democrats in North Carolina and Washington, D.C., are beginning to zero in on state Attorney General Roy Cooper (D) as a particularly strong pick" to challenge Sen. Elizabeth Dole (R-NC) and "are urging him to enter the race," according to Roll Call.

Other possibilities include Rep. Brad Miller, Gov. Mike Easley, former Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Hugh Shelton, state Sen. Kay Hagan and state Rep. Grier Martin -- "though Easley is unlikely to run."

My only point, more food for thought than a point, was that a popular governor is not always a lock for federal office from North Carolina.

Hillary will lose North Carolina by double digits, though.

I predict she'll get about 45%-47% of the vote.
