Namely, her vote for and support of the “Affordable” Care Act…well, until she realized that it was hurting her. And the pain keeps a comin’!
(Politico) Incumbent Sen. Kay Hagan (D-N.C.) is near the top of national Republicans’ target list for 2014 — and a new poll shows her lead over her potential GOP challengers has all but evaporated.
Against state House Speaker Thom Tillis, Hagan leads by only 2 points, 44 percent to 42 percent, according to the Democratic firm Public Policy Polling. She leads the Rev. Mark Harris by 2 points as well, 43 percent to 41 percent, and nurse Heather Grant by 3 points, 43 percent to 40 percent.
Hagan trails physician Greg Brannon, the Rand Paul-endorsed candidate in the race, by 1 point: He leads 44 percent to 43 percent.
And think, the GOP representative to run for that seat hasn’t even been picked yet. And whoever that will be hasn’t had a chance to grill Hagan on Obamacare. Oh, and the pain of people seeing their health insurance plans cancelled hasn’t even hit in North Carolina yet.
