IMHO the GOP needs to maintain NC's Republican seat in the Senate and I think Dole is the closest person we have to guarantee that. The other candidates do not have the name recognition nor the campaign funds to defeat Bowles, who will probably win the Dem. nomination for the ticket. It's wonderful to worry about the state, but we also need to keep an eye on the overall gains made by ensuring this seat stays Republican. I'll be putting my flame-retardant suit on now. Flame away...I know most of you NC Freepers dislike her because you think she's not from this state. What is so wrong with returning to your home state of birth where one was raised to help it and the national party achieve their goals? Or do you all only want a candidate who reflects all of your own personal goals?

Liddy Dolt is not a fit replacement for Jesse Helms. When the spineless wimpette (I'm rich therefore a Senate seat is my birthright) is whipped by Erskine Bowles, don't even dare THINK about suggesting that it is the fault of real Republicans. Other than the same old tired Tinkerbell (thanks Clemenza) Trent Lott BS that the really important thing is to have a GOP majority so that coruuption can flow through him,....whoops, so that the Republic will be safe from his precise corrupt counterparts like Daschle, just what is the argument for nominating Dolt who will be influenced by dear hubby to raise taxes whenever possible, will discover that she really is not pro-life or pro-gun after all and will discover that, in fairness, we cannot stop Bruce from marrying Lance and adopting. Puhleeze. I suppose that most Republicans will vote for her on the judicial nominee question but they may be disappointed in the unlikely event that she wins. Hopefully, at her age, she has one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel. The only gray matter she has ever had is her hair when not dyed. Start finding actual Americans and actual Republicans and actually moral people to run against and defeat Edwards and to prepare the recapture of Helms' Senate seat no matter which of the apprent slime nominees slithers through this year's process. Take the governorship too just in case we get lucky and need to appoint a replacement for Liddy Bowles or Erskine Dolt.
