Dole Investing Personal Cash In Reelection Bid
CONCORD - Republican Sen. Elizabeth Dole says she is spending some of her own money on her first re-election bid.
Dole declined to say how much she has contributed to the effort. But Dole has been trying to offset the millions in spending on negative television ads that Democrats have used to make the race one of the closest in the country.
Elizabeth Dole is in a lot of trouble right now. This race between her and Hagan was close before the economic meltdown. Now with the market tanking further just about every day and people collapsing after receiving their quarterly 401k statements, the electorate is being pushed towards the Democrats, whether rigthly or wrongly. I would surmise that right now Dole has about a 50/50 chance of being reelected and that’s not a comfortable position for an incumbent to be in.
