North Carolina: We're Winning
Think we can't win red states like North Carolina? Look at the latest poll.
North Carolina Senate Poll
Kay Hagan (D) 48%
Sen. Elizabeth Dole (R) 47%
That's right. After last week's huge primary win, Democratic State Senator Kay Hagan has surged ahead of endangered Republican incumbent Elizabeth Dole in the latest survey.
We weren't kidding last week when we called this the sleeper race of 2008. North Carolina voters are ready to reject Dole's brand of George Bush Republicanism.
Dole is against increasing the minimum wage. North Carolina voters are for it. Dole is against expanding health care for kids. North Carolina voters are for it. Dole is even against the kind of serious ethics reform that would limit the influence of her special interest friends.
Dole is against getting defeated in November. Once again, North Carolina voters are all for it.
Latest TX poll: Noriega on Cornyn's heelsTexas: We're (Almost) Winning
Think we can't win red states like Texas? Look at the latest poll. (Noticing a theme?)
Texas Senate Poll
Sen. John Cornyn (R) 47%
Rick Noriega (D) 43%
Four points. That's the margin in this and another poll released last week. In both polls, Republican Senator John Cornyn is below the key 50% threshold that signals a highly vulnerable incumbent.
The email proceeds to ask for a donation to the DSCC.
My advice is that if you're going to donate less than a thousand, then it makes more sense to give directly to a candidate's campaign, which relies on relatively small donation. Donate to the DSCC if you want to give more than $2,300.
