Coming into 2014, the word “vulnerable” was used often in association with North Carolina Democratic Sen. Kay Hagan, according to a story in Sunday’s Asheville Citizen-Times.
And the fall of Hagan, many said, would be one of the key dominoes returning the U.S. Senate to Republican control.
At mid-year 2014, though, all the talk is about Hagan clinging to a consistent, if small, lead in her re-election campaign against Republican Thom Tillis, the speaker of the North Carolina House.

We don’t have a worthy candidate for the US Senate. Probably better not to vote in this race …
Hagan and Thillis are both losers for their own reasons and not to be trusted by the taxpayers …
