Elizabeth Dole challenger ?

This sounds hopeful....

A Chapel Hill investment banker hopes to challenge U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Dole in 2008.
Jim Neal, 50, is a relative unknown who has never run for political office. But he does have experience in an area that will matter a great deal in the race: fundraising.

In 2006, Neal took the year off from work to raise money for retired Army Gen. Wesley Clark's and U.S. Sen. John Kerry's presidential campaigns.

He said he plans to take another year off and tap into that same network of donors to raise the millions necessary to challenge Dole, an incumbent who is nationally known.

"I'm looking forward to introducing myself to the electorate," Neal said. "I don't have any name recognition, so I'm going to spend the next year winning the confidence of the people of North Carolina."

Neal said he opposes the war in Iraq, which Dole has supported. He said he was moved to bump up the timing of his campaign announcement by Dole's recent vote against expanding a federal children's health program.

"Sen. Dole's performance has certainly put a target on her back," he said.

Wishing Jim Neal all the best and he has my vote! :hi:

Such a ding-a-ling...

how my senators have voted. If he's successful, one down....

three years? Just need someone else to step up to the plate - I was thinking Dole was to go unchallenged.

a lot of big name investment companies, he must be a natural politician :D

Easy on the eyes too!

hopes a Dem could win Dole's seat. She frightens me.

We've been waiting for someone to challenge her! Burr next.

She used to be my boss...
