Meck Deck takes note of poll gains by Libertarian Chris Cole in the Senate race, saying “the indy vote is an even bigger indictment of Hagan’s campaign which has lurched around trying to pin a target on Dole rather than go flat out and sell Hagan.” Cone has Hagan’s latest TV ad, which he says does just that.

Back to Cole, who got a fair amount of print in the recent discussion on energy policy. I suspect that voters are wising up to the fact neither Democrats or Republicans are doing anything about energy policy and there’s little hope for the future with the mainstream candidates we have now.
