...Hagan, who has been a Sunday school teacher and is a regular church-goer, fired back Wednesday. "This is a fabricated, pathetic ad," she said, "How dare she attack my faith. Is Elizabeth Dole that desperate to keep this Senate seat?"

The onetime head of the American Red Cross and presidential candidate has been on an eight-day bus tour of the state and has been running ads linking Hagan to Big Oil. She recently announced that she would spend $3 million of her own money in the final push before election...
