‘Average Teacher’ In Hagan Ad Tied To BluePrintNC

Posted on September 13, 2014 by A.P. Dillon

In the NC Senate race, Kay Hagan has decided to use a ‘war on schools’ theme for her attacks on Thom Tillis. The NEA advocacy fund has an ad out which leads with a Chapel Hill teacher named Vivian Connell.

The ad portrays her as just some average teacher from North Carolina. She’s not.

Hagan’s Contraception Talking Point Is A Dud

Posted on September 10, 2014 by A.P. Dillon

In the first debate against Speaker Thom Tillis, Senator Kay Hagan took the “War On Women” route. Hagan continued to repeat Tillis was for banning birth control as well as her willful misrepresentation the Hobby Lobby decision being about birth control, which it wasn’t. Flashback from Sister Toldjah: Senate Dems, including @KayHagan, set to try & “reverse” #HobbyLobby ruling

That decision wasn’t about BC. Why do you hate religious freedom? #ncsen MT @kayhagan: Speaker Tillis supports #HobbyLobby decision …

The war on women/contraception attack flopped, as Tillis stuck a stick in the wheels of her talking point bike by stating he feels oral contraception should be made available over the counter. Hagan had no come back for this. In fact, Democrats are so freaked out by this move they’ve become more shrill and launched five-figure ad buys.

Check out this excerpt from Liberal TIME magazine below. Emphasis is mine.

Hagan To Charlotte Observer, TWC News On Debate: No Thanks.

Posted on September 9, 2014 by A.P. Dillon

Kay Hagan has declined to participate in a debate being put on by the Charlotte Observer, the News and Observer and Time Warner Cable News. Time Warner Cable News in Charlotte had this tidbit from Hagan’s Campaign manager:

Her campaign communications director, Sadie Weiner, said in a statement: “…The series of three debates is already more than Speaker Tillis originally agreed to during his primary and more than Senator Dole did in 2008. The first debate has already taken place, and we look forward to the next debate opportunity for the two candidates to compare their records for voters. ”

First #NCsenDebate Roundup

Posted on September 4, 2014 by A.P. Dillon

The first of two debates between Thom Tillis and Kay Hagan took place last night. The debate was broadcast on WRAL. The next one is October 7th.

Incredulous is a great word for Kay Hagan, because I am incredulous watching her repeat debunked lies in a debate. #ncsen #ncsendebate

Hagan’s rhetoric came across like a Moral Monday occupier who kept channeling Sandra Fluke while wearing Wendy Davis red sneakers. Tillis stood firm on states rights and corrected Hagan’s use of debunked Senate Majority PAC talking points about his record. Here’s the net-net of the debate via Twitter:
