No. Dole is no Allen; Allen lost because of a long string of gaffes, and Dole won't make those same mistakes. Plus, NC isn't as Democratic as Virginia is, yet.`
VA is more Democratic the NC at the national level, but at the local level NC is more Democratic.
Fortunately for Dole that Senate races are federal in that case.
I know
... I just don't think Dole will be able to keep up, money wise with the DSCC + what Hagan gets. Also Dole will not get the black voters like she needs to keep Hagan down in the polls. And as long as Hagan stayes with in 5% of Dole the DSCC will give Hagan money. Unlike the RNC who are trying to states like CO, MN, OR, ME, LA ect close.
