Aggressive Democrats

It does my heart good to see Republicans fuming because North Carolina Democrats are playing hardball.



First there was the ad raising questions about Pat McCrory – before McCrory could introduce himself to voters across the state.



Now there is a new ad from the DSCC with this tagline about Elizabeth Dole: “Not as effective as you might think.”



This is the kind of thing Republicans used to do to us. Big money and tough negative ads.



Clearly, we are seeing a new – and more aggressive – strain of Democrats in North Carolina.



They even pay attention to their polling. Witness the pivot both Barack Obama and Kay Hagan made on offshore oil drilling: maybe some, under the right conditions and right restrictions.



That’s smart politics. The environmentalists will swallow it unless they want McCain making energy policy.
