Elizabeth Dole's New Ad: Arf

This article does a good job evaluating the veracity of the various claims used in the ad.

The Senate race in North Carolina is tight, no doubt about it.

After her last round of ads, Dole was able to open up a lead in independent polls. Can she do it with this one?

The last two independent polls showed Hagan with a narrow lead.

The DSCC has the resources to back Hagan. They’ve already reserved $6 million worth of ad time!

The NRSC does not have the resources to match. Elizabeth Dole has raised a sizeable chunk of change, but she has also had to spend heavily to run ads earlier this year.

Obama is running a strong campaign in North Carolina. His strength in the state will definitely help Hagan.

Dole is in for the race of her life.
