2008 Obama -we’re counting on you to make some history VO IN 2008, TWO DEMOCRATS - KAY HAGAN AND BARACK OBAMA - WON NORTH CAROLINA THANKS TO OVER 70% OF THE STATE’S BLACK VOTERS TURNING OUT. Lets see if there’s some effect to make the transition to this year stronger SOT: 04 Hagan: This year I’m going to need your energy. VO THIS TIME AROUND, IT’S JUST SENATOR HAGAN ON THE BALLOT. THE CHALLENGES FOR HER - AND FOR DEMOCRATS ACROSS THE COUNTRY - IN GETTING BLACK VOTERS BACK TO THE POLLS. NOW, ON THE ELECTION MINUTE. ELECTION MINUTE GRAPHIC SOT: 04 Hagan: everybody in North Carolina VO IN NORTH CAROLINA, LITTLE EXPENSE HAS BEEN SPARED. DEMOCRATS ARE TOUTING A GET OUT THE VOTE EFFORT WITH 10,000 VOLUNTEERS. THERE’S ALSO BEEN A PARADE OF VISITORS, MANY VERY POPULAR IN THE BLACK COMMUNITY. SOT Hillary: you know elections come down to who’s got more money who’s pedaling more fear and who turns out. IF IT’S GOT NEWSCHANNEL GTAPHIC, MIGHT BE BETTER TO USE SOMETHING OF AN ANNOUNCER VO MEANWHILE SOME OF THE MESSAGING FROM HAGAN ALLIES HAS BEEN LESS THAN SUBTLE. THIS FLYER WAS REPORTEDLY DISTRIBUTED AT AN AFRICAN AMERICAN CHURCH IN FAYETTEVILLE. NOTICE THE LYNCH MOB IN THE BACKGROUND. AND A RADIO AD GOT INSTANT NOTICE WHEN IT EVOKED TRAYVON MARTIN TO CRITICIZE THE REPUBLICAN NOMINEE. <SOT-Ad> Thom led the effort to pass the type of stand your ground laws that caused the shooting death of Trevon Martin. //LINEAR WIPE// Any nat of hagan amid a white audience - from an ad or somewhere else VO BUT REMEMBER: WHITE VOTERS STILL MAKE UP 70% OF NORTH CAROLINA’S ELECTORATE AND THEY ONLY HAVE A 25% APPROVAL RATING OF THE PRESIDENT. AS SUCH, THE REPUBLICAN STRATEGY IS CLEAR. AD: In order to stop the Obama policies you have to replace Kay Haan. VO FOR SENATOR HAGAN, SHE EMPHASIZES HER MODERATE CREDENTIALS, ESPECIALLY WHEN SPEAKING TO A STATEWIDE AUDIENCE. 12:14 “SOT: Hagan: I think North Carolinina’s want a common sense voice” //LINEAR WIPE// Chris Mathews: North carolina, certainly one of the close races of the country for control of the us senate// VO SHE’S WALKED THE TIGHTROPE BETWEEN WHITE AND BLACK VOTERS BETTER THAN MOST. SOME DEMOCRATS IN A SIMILAR POSITION HAVE EVEN REFUSED TO SAY WHETHER THEY VOTED FOR THE PRESIDENT. This election is not about the president. VO SENATOR HAGAN HAS MAINTAINED A SLIGHT LEAD AND A SIX-TO-ONE CASH ON HAND ADVANTAGE. DESPITE ALL THAT, IF NORTH CAROLINA’S BLACK VOTERS DON’T TURN OUT ON TUESDAY, IT COULD BE AN EARLY END TO DEMOCRATS HOPES OF RETAINING THE SENATE. -END IT-
