Former Secretary of State of State Hillary Rodham Clinton urged North Carolina Democrats on Saturday to work to re-elect Sen. Kay Hagan.
Clinton headlined a rally in Charlotte with Hagan, who is locked in a tight re-election campaign against Republican challenger Thom Tillis.
Before more than 1,000 people in a convention center ballroom, Clinton said the race will come down to turnout. And she asked Hagan's supporters to get voters to the polls on her behalf.
"A race will often come down to who has more money, who is peddling more fear and who turns out. And there is nothing more important for Kay than who turns out," she said.
Hagan also focused on that point. "You better believe that the eyes of the country are on North Carolina right now," Hagan said. "Folks all across the nation are looking at our state to see if our grassroots effort can still triumph over out-of-state billionaires" who are "trying to buy this election."
Republicans have long eyed North Carolina as a top target to help win back the Senate.
The campaign is considered the most expensive in the country when spending by Hagan, Tillis and outside groups is taken into account. The Center for Responsive Politics recently said the combined amount has now reached almost $90 million.
"I can only win the election with your help," Hagan said, adding that early voting has started and that she needs her supporters to "take three people to the polls before election day."
Tillis has brought in his share of top GOP leaders to campaign for him this fall, including 2016 hopefuls New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky On Friday night, Texas Gov. Rick Perry appeared at a rally that drew 5,000 people.

“Before more than 1,000 people.”
Wow, the humanity. Probably more like a few dozen.
Clinton drew 1,000. Perry drew 5,000. LOL!
DOH!
I ain’t no ways tired!
Shepherding the Sheep..
That would be...ahem...the Dems, of course.
As far as who has more VENOM ?
HRC wins!
Yay!
.
Without that kind of horrible turnout...Kay Hagan is toast,....no, burnt toast!!! Hillary has no star power other then her phoney media butt kissers!!! Her book was ta failure with a capital “F”!!! Bet ya...there was not more then five hundred people in the room!!!
Folks....destroy the entire Democrat party, politically on election day, Tuesday, November 4, 2014!!!
Corrected.
I don’t understand this.
The GOP-e got their preferred candidate in Thom Tillis. Why hasn’t Hagan just run-up the white flag and started packing for home?
Let’s remember that ANYONE can write for Yahoo.
In that spirit, let’s rewrite the lead sentence:
Former Secretary of State of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, who lied about Benghazi and is responsible for the bloody murder of our Libyan ambassador, urged North Carolina Democrats on Saturday to illegally vote multiple times for senator Hagan.
Hillary was in Maine yesterday for a rally for our dem candidate Mike Michaud. Tonight the Portland Press Herald released a poll showing Repubican Paul LePage with a ten point lead.
And she probably sold a dozen more books in the bargain.
You’ve got to hand it to The Hag; she’s not going away. In the last Debate, she came out swinging and didn’t stop. Every time, he let her get away with her snippy little remarks and flat out lies. He had numerous chances to B**ch slap her and he didn’t. Typical GOP Establishment dude.
Actually, it’s an AP News story; it was posted on Yahoo News. That’s why the source is Yahoo News.
Clinton drew 1,000. Perry drew 5,000. LOL!

Oh yeah. You caught that in the article; huh? Perry’s rally for Tillis drew 5,000. But, we learned from the Romney Campaign, big crowds don’t always translate into the most votes. Carolina will be a nail-biter on Election night.
