Hagan Out

i have never let it be a secret here that I'm a big money donor to the Democratic Party and have been part of the Democratic leadership of this State since 1994. But this year, I didn't give a dime to Hagan, and neither did a lot of other big money donor Democrats in NC. Hagan was told 6 years ago what was expected of her by those of us who got her elected, and she didn't hold up her end of the bargain. In fact, she and I got into a nice little yelling contest about a year ago.

This past summer she was crying for money, begging, but she had already burned her bridges. I wish some other Democratic candidate had run instead of her, because they would have gotten the support needed.

Anything more I have to say on this I will be saying to Party leaders. But hopefully the next candidate will learn from Hagan's mistake. We deserve someone who looks out for the interest of NC.

ANY Dem is better than any Repuke, and control of the Senate meant a lot more than sending a message. JMHO.

Worth "looking out for", indeed.
