An analysis published today in Congressional Quarterly lists her seat as one of the top five most competitive in the country. Read the full article here.

The political journal cites her stunning loss of six GOP seats during her tenure as chairwoman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee as a harbinger of her vulnerability.

"Congressional Quarterly's conclusion that Elizabeth Dole is vulnerable is right on point," said N.C. Democratic Party Chair Jerry Meek.

"After years of voting against our veterans, against our community college students, against lower prescription drug prices, and in favor of subsidies for big oil, Elizabeth Dole's record is finally catching up with her," Meek said.
