NC is losing Jesse Helms......

They should not replace him with dole.

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?

NC is losing Jesse Helms......

This NYer would like to suggest that the nation is losing the great Senator Helms. He'll be missed.
