Ben, I love that note of yours! It’s a great example of how one can dish out opprobrium to someone without being abusive or acrimonious about it, and in fact can come off sounding not just civil, but generous. “Wishing you lots of free time in the future” — priceless!

My email to the Dole campaign:

Thank you for bringing up Kay Hagan’s consideration of atheists as full and equal citizens. I have been looking for politicians willing to seek out the support of non-religious citizens like myself, and I would never have heard of her efforts without your press release. I donated to her campaign with a song in my heart – an experience I would not have had without your criticism.

Wishing you lots of free time in the future,

Ben

I live in NC and Hagan is a breath of fresh air. Please keep up the good work by spreading more positive information about her.

Thanks

Rich

Fivethirtyeight.com does the best poll analysis I’ve seen. They’ve tracked the Dole-Hagan race since May. Movement is clearly in Hagan’s direction, but all but 1 poll show Dole in the lead. That 1 is the most recent. 538.com gives Dole a 3.8 percentage point advantage at the moment.

Nice. Although I doubt that it is the case, I’d like to think that her bigoted tactics have something to do with her losing ground.

I love the smell of Republican defeat in the… um, whenever!

Let’s just hope that Kay Hagan maintains this edge. Personally, I want Elizabeth Dole to lose and never been heard from (in politics) again.
