Lorenzo Perez, Staff Writer
U.S. Senate candidate Kay Hagan easily outpaced her four rivals in Tuesday's Democratic primary, setting up a historic race against incumbent Republic Sen. Elizabeth Dole.
A state senator from Greensboro, Hagan claimed 60.5 percent of the vote with 92 percent of the precincts reporting.

Jim Neal, a Chapel Hill corporate investment adviser, ranked second among the five Democratic candidates with 17.9 percent of the votes.

Hagan's victory marks the first Senate election in North Carolina history in which both candidates are women. According to the Center for American Women and Politics, there have been only seven other Senate elections in U.S. history where both candidates were women.

4. I can't say Dole has been a disaster as our Senatot

because frankly she hasn't done anything in her six years but collect a paycheck and show up at photo ops (Burr, no surprise, has managed to do the same). Would be nice to elect someone like Hagan that would actually be proactive for her constituents and the country.

6. I met Hagan briefly at the Taste Of Durham last weekend

She seemed like a very nice lady. I voted for Neal in the primaries but I'll gladly vote for Hagan in November.
