An attack ad linking Kay Hagan to the Godless Americans PAC boosted her instead.

The Democratic senator-elect's campaign received 3,600 contributions within 48 hours of an ad by U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Dole criticizing her for attending a fundraiser.

Hagan immediately used the ad as an e-mail fundraising tool.

"We got responses from people who identify themselves as atheists and every religion under the sun who found that ad offensive," said Hagan spokeswoman Colleen Flanagan, who said the campaign hadn't calculated the dollar figure raised yet.

Tom Jensen, a Democratic pollster in Raleigh, said Hagan was winning by four percentage points more than president-elect Barack Obama during early voting. After the ad aired, she won by 11 percentage points more than Obama.

Dole said the $3 million personal loan she made her own campaign in early October was not specifically related to the ad. (Char-O)

I blame the "liberal elite media".
They report the negative tactics, and then people react in opposition...
Obviously that's drastically unfair!

I thought this was one of the coolest happenings in a state in America in a long long while.
Finally, finally. People are paying attention and taking their opinions to the ballot box.
