Elizabeth Dole isn't slowing down.North Carolina's former Republican senator was in Charlotte this morning for a fundraiser for two groups associated with Mike Huckabee, the former and possibly future GOP presidential candidate.
Dole said she sandwiched the appearance between a morning stop at Charlotte's Loaves & Fishes food bank and afternoon visits to the Charlotte Rescue Mission, Salvation Army and Thompson Child & Family Focus. She said she supports them all through the Elizabeth Dole Charitable Foundation.
On her way out, Dole, who turns 73 next month, was asked if she's enjoying retirement.
"Not retirement, no," she bristled. "Catching up on my life."
She talked about visiting Normandy last weekend with her husband, former Sen. Bob Dole. She recounted how they both spend a couple hours most Saturdays at Washington's World War II Memorial, which her husband raised money for, greeting vets flown in by the Honor Flight Network, a non-profit that flies vets to the memorials.
"It really is very emotional," Dole said.
She doesn't think much about her loss to Democrat Kay Hagan.
"I'm not one who looks back," she said. "I'm the kind of person who puts total energy and focus into whatever I'm doing."

That is, of course, except representing the people of North Carolina. Goodbye Liddy Dole.
Good riddance once and for all to this self-absorbed scum bag.
I wish we could say good riddance once and for all to losers like the person that called her a scum bag once and for all. But you turds like that keep floating to the top and commenting.
I comment Mrs. Dole for the work she is doing!

Give us news about someone who is relevant and newsworthy. She is so out of touch, I hear she just found out she lost the senate race. What an awful senator she was. She couldn't find Salisbury on a map! Thank the good lord she is "outta office". She has been out of our collective minds for a longtime, and let's keep it that way.
And they call Republicans "full of hate"
Come on this is a decent lady. Maybe her ego is a little out of control and she may be a little on the greedy side at times but even I can admit she's helped a lot of people during her life.
Everyone was of the opinion Dole disappeared while representing us. So far I'd have to say the same is true for Hagan.
She comes around when she wants something. Before she ran for senate she hardly ever came around her home county. During the cammpaign, she was around frequently. Since the loss it's back to hardly ever. I wonder if there's been anyone in that house in Salisbury in a long time. You "never" see "any" activity around it. You do the math!!!
Well it's obvious Rob up there would be first in line for the kool-aid. Listen, this stinking old hag never did nothing that didn't directly benefit Elizabeth Dole first. Let's see she was bedding
Bob while he was still married to his first wife, only set foot back in Salibury when it appeared she could use it to be a launching pad for the Senate run. Oh and then when she did get to the Senate she just as quickly forgot where little ole NC was again. Let this shrewish old phony be swept back under the rug of history where she belongs.
She's a worthless piece of honey-coated dreck. Don't forget her graceless concession speech: "I never really wanted to be a Senator anyway." Thanks for 6 years of nothing, you smarmy old bag of wind.
The only thing I would ever commend this piece of garbage for is staying out of North Carolina permanently.
My gosh there are some real pieces of garbage out there that know their way around the internet. Too bad. It is one thing to disagree with someone but it is another to spew hate when it is uncalled for. The lady may have not benn in the state as much as she should have been but she is certainly not deserving of your rude comments. Bet you are perfect and go to church each Sunday and volunteer at the mission. Doubt it. You sit on your fat butt and find fault in everyone else. Get some class and try not to be so free with your stupidity. Rock on RobNclgt....
