Greensboro's Mark Binker reports State Sen. Kay Hagan (D-Guilford) has changed her mind again and *will* run against US Sen Elizabeth Dole. Hagan's campaign website - complete with video - is here.
Binker says Hagan told him her change of heart had nothing to do with the candidacy of Jim Neal. More on that here, and lots more at BlueNC, where Neal recently confirmed he's gay.
Hagan's press release also included kind words from former Gov Jim Hunt. That sure sounds like the official blessing of the party machine, but Hunt told Binker he's only speaking for himself as a longtime friend and supporter of the Greensboro Dem.
