 Senator-elect drops suit over Lizzy Dole ad Senator-elect Hagan drops suit over 'godless' TV ad RALEIGH, North Carolina (AP) -- U.S. Sen.-elect Kay Hagan withdrew her defamation and libel lawsuit Thursday against incumbent Sen. Elizabeth Dole for a campaign commercial that Hagan alleged questioned her Christianity.  Kay Hagan defeated Elizabeth Dole's bid for re-election to the U.S. Senate.Hagan spokeswoman Colleen Flanagan said the papers were filed Thursday afternoon in Wake County court, putting an end to the legal fight over a controversial TV ad in the final week of the campaign ultimately won by Hagan. The ad only ran for a few days but became a hot issue. Dole brought up her campaign rival's attendance at a fundraiser hosted by an adviser to the Godless Americans Political Action Committee, an atheist advocacy group. Flanagan said Hagan can spend her time better working to help families hurt by the bad economy instead of pursuing a lawsuit that "would just continue the focus on a very personal and negative attack against Kay." "It's clear that the people of North Carolina have rejected personal attacks aimed at dividing people of this state instead of bringing them together to solve the problems at hand," Flanagan said. Dole campaign spokesman Hogan Gidley declined to comment on ending the suit. Dole's 30-second advertisement showed clips of some members of the Godless Americans committee talking about some of their goals, such as taking "under God" out of the Pledge of Allegiance and removing "In God We Trust" from U.S. currency. It went on to question why Hagan went to the fundraiser. The ad ended with a picture of Hagan while another woman declares in the background, "There is no God!" Hagan, a Greensboro Democrat and state senator, responded quickly to the commercial with the lawsuit and her own commercial accusing Dole of breaking the Bible's Ninth Commandment by bearing false witness. A Presbyterian church elder who teaches Sunday school, Hagan also held a news conference with her family and her pastor. Dole called the lawsuit frivolous and the commercial factual and designed to question Hagan's agenda and associations -- not her faith. The Republican's campaign also used the September fundraiser in Boston that Hagan attended at the home of Woody Kaplan in automated phone calls in the campaign's last weekend. The fundraisers was not billed as a Godless Americans event, and other hosts included an ambassador and Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry, the 2004 Democratic presidential nominee. Dole's campaign sent a press release on the subject about a month before the event. Hagan received nearly 53 percent of the vote in her upset of Dole, the one-term senator, former Cabinet secretary and head of the American Red Cross. Senator-elect Hagan drops suit over 'godless' ad

| Very glad to be rid of Lizzy Dole. That woman makes my skin crawl. 1 year ago she thought she had this election in the bag...lol Now that she doesn't have to worry about the people of N.C. (Like she ever did) she has lots more time to take her 300 year old self back to Oklahoma and live out her golden years with Viagra Bob.

| She lost because she was NEVER here. She just used NC to get elected and then forgot all about it. Of course the voters didn't forget and now she's going back to the big OK.
