A survey from GOP robopollster Harper Polling, conducted June 3-4 among 501 likely voters, shows North Carolina GOP Sen. Richard Burr leading former Democratic Sen. Kay Hagan, 49 percent to 42 percent. Burr also leads state Senate Democratic Leader Dan Blue Jr. with 50 percent of the vote to Blue’s 36 percent of the vote and 14 percent undecided.

Why is Hagan even being talked up as a candidate? She just lost last cycle and is still extremely unpopular. Is the bench in NC that weak that we need a proven loser?

With Cowell refusing to run, Cooper running for governor, and everyone else plagued by low name recognition, Hagan is probably the best democrats have.

Exactly. I mean, they're trying the same in OH, PA and WI with their 2010 losers. It seems to be working in the other states, but not NC (at least not yet).
I don't think their comparable to NC. Strickland and Sestak both barely lost (2 points) to very strong opponents during the GOP Wave of 2010. Feingold has always been popular in Wisconson and Johnson is overwhelmingly unpopular. But Hagan failed to get brand herself last year and as a result had her negatives driven up substantially and lost to an awful candidate in Thom Tillis. She just ran a bad campaign, and I don't see why this time would be different.

It's as if they just rejected Hagan's re-election...

There's also a difference - Feingold, Strickland, and others had enough time (6 years) to recover their images, and were previously institutions of the state anyway. Meanwhile Hagan won in 2008 in a mild upset, and had been basically a non-entity in the Senate for 6 years. She was never very popular, and her defeat was only surprising in the context that Tillis was a bad candidate and a bad opponent to face her because he was also a nauseatingly teleprompter candidate. Unless it's an absolute slaughter, there's no way Hagan beats Burr. I don't even think she's the best wave insurance - Not that there are many other candidates who would be better, but Hagan's own election was because of surprisingly strong recruiting (she was surprisingly strong in that 2008 election, admittedly), and I don't see why Democrats couldn't recruit someone out of nowhere who could be a better competitor.

Until they dropped out, I thought Janet Cowell or Jeff Jackson would've both been stronger candidates and better wave insurance.
