there are so many elections going on around the country and so many important races to watch. but i want to point out one that may seem unrelated to me because i have no ties to north carolina. but i must say that i have been watching it with renewed interest ever since incumbent republican elizabeth dole put out a television ad attacking her democratic opponent kay hagan for the united state senate there as a 'godless american.' she even made it seem like kay hagan was saying the words 'there is no god' at the end of the commercial, even though it wasn't her! this is a very religious person who teaches sunday school! i'm so sick and tired of republicans trying to say they are the religious party and democrats are 'godless.' it's not about policy discussions for the republicans, it's about name calling and mccarthyism-tactics.

with all that said, i can't seem to stop watching this commercial kay hagan put out after the 'godless' attacks from elizabeth dole. this is one of the best television ads i've ever seen. and the reason it's so good is because it's talking straight to the camera and saying what really needs to be said. and the last line about 'bearing false witness' is unbelievably good. i didn't know who kay hagan was before this election, and many in north carolina didn't either, but we're all about to know her real well because she's currently beating dole and will hopefully be the next united states senator from north carolina in a few days. here's to kay hagan and to fighting back!
