Option 2. There was evidence she was clawing back in the polls, but she lost bigger. That ad and Hagen's response sunk her, I think we had a "Sweet Kay Hagan" effect similar to the "Sweet Sarah Palin" nonsense J. J. blabbed about (the difference being that actually existed while "Sweet Sarah Palin" was just more inane J. J. nonsense.)

The 2nd one was solid, the 1st one went over the line unquestionably (voice-impersonating Hagan saying "There is no god" is just frickin' evil).

Option 2....but isn't it kind of sad that a commercial like that would have ANY effect?

What's sad is that is that any politician would stoop that low.

Option 2, easily.  I was actually supporting Sen. Dole until she ran that ad.  I don't stand for that, and will root for any politicians defeat who pulls that kind of dirty trick.  Once I saw that ad (or the article on that ad), I immediately switched my support to Senator-Elect Kay Hagan.

There are a lot of dirty tricks in politics, but that was below the belt and uncalled for.

Option 2, clearly: Dole likely would have lost anyway, but running this low, disgusting ad made it virtually certain that she would.

What's funny is Chris Matthews asked Bob Dole a year or two ago if he believes in an afterlife and he said "I'm not certain." Which makes him agnostic, so I guess Bob Dole is a godless american!
