Bully Pulpit

The term "bully pulpit" stems from President Theodore Roosevelt's reference to the White House as a "bully pulpit," meaning a terrific platform from which to persuasively advocate an agenda. Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

In a reversal, Hagan now says she will challenge Dole

RALEIGH (Winston-Salem Journal) - Three weeks after saying no, state Sen. Kay Hagan said yes.

Hagan, a veteran Democratic legislator from Greensboro who had initially decided against mounting a challenge to U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Dole, said yesterday that she had changed her mind, and she got into the race by touting a legislative career that she said shows a better can-do record for North Carolina than the GOP incumbent.

Let's see, three weeks ago Kay Hagan said she wasn't running for the U.S. Senate; now, she is. During those three weeks, Jim Neal - at the time, the lone Democrat running against Dole - disclosed that he is gay... And Hagan and her supporters want us to believe that her joining the race had nothing to do with Neal's sexuality. They must really think we are fools.
