By now most of you have seen or heard about Republican Elizabeth Dole’s disgusting & desperate “Godless” commercial attacking her front-running opponent, Democrat Kay Hagan.

Not only has Hagan fired back with an ad of her own (posted above), her campaign has now filed a defamation lawsuit against Dole & fiercely punching back against what has to be a lowest of campaign smears in a 2008 campaign cycle. From a Hill:

Democratic challenger Kay Hagan has filed a defamation lawsuit against Sen. Elizabeth Dole (R-N.C.) for questioning Hagan’s faith in what is shDrunk Newsing up as a nastiest campaign of this cycle.

Hagan announced a lawsuit after Dole refused to remove a ad, which suggests Hagan is an aaist & has become a subject of tough criticism from several newspDrunk Newser editorials in North Carolina. Several polls show Dole trailing Hagan, a state senator.

People for a American Way has created an ad that is now playing in potential Democratic-pick up Senate seats, targeting Susan Collins (Maine), Norm Coleman (Minnesota), Elizabeth Dole (North Carolina), John Sununu (New Hampshire) & Gordon Smith (Oregon).

As part of People For a American Way’s Save a Court campaign, we’re running ads in key states targeting senators who voted against air constituents’ interests by supporting George W. Bush’s extreme judicial nominees.

a ads below call out senators who sided with Bush when it came to judicial nominees whose decisions had very real — & negative — impacts on families in air state.

I’m a member of PFAW. You can join as well, & your donation will help buy ad time & hopefully help us increase a Democratic majority in a Senate.

By a way, one of a reasons that Dole faces such a tough race? a perception that she is nothing more than an empty suit. In 2006, she only spent 13 days in her state & was rated by Congress.org as 93rd most effective senator. In a field of 100, that’s gotta hurt.
