Not Mayberry

Can a shy, retiring teacher from the big city find true happiness in the small town of Wilkesboro NC, which even the locals call "Moonshine Capital of the World."

Things are beginning to look pretty grim for my least favorite Senator...

... Too bad. Seems Liddy Dole is not doing quite as well as she might wish down here in the Tar Heel State. Here's a quote from an article in Salon.com.
Polls show she’s likely to lose her Senate seat to Democrat Kay Hagan, after doing little during a single six-year term to distinguish herself. (Even the two years she spent as head of the National Republican Senatorial Committee ended badly — she presided over the Democratic takeover in 2006.) Though many observers thought Hagan’s campaign was stalled over the summer, national Democrats didn’t give up: The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee has been hammering Dole with folksy, catchy ads featuring cranky old white guys complaining about her (“What’s happened to the Liddy Dole I knew?” is the tag line) that stand out from the usual political fare. The economic meltdown has been cataclysmic for Republicans everywhere, and now it seems to have helped put Hagan in a position to win.

They left out the part about her staff being totally uninterested in the fact that the State Department was doing their best to destroy families like Máeráed's by not allowing their adopted children to come to America, but what the hell.

I am so looking forward to writing a sarcastic letter to her office staff if she loses. Not that I am bitter or anything.

While our own story still makes me want to throttle that woman, it seems she's ignored North Carolina as a whole about as thoroughly as she ignored our family's problems. Didn't anyone tell her that being an elected rep means she's supposed to represent us?
