Would have liked to have seen Heineman run-he's been an awesome governor. Bruning though is nearly as good a candidate and is one of the national leaders in the lawsuit against Obamacare. Nelson's goose is cooked.

“didn’t want to live in Washington”

Purely understandable.

This is going to be interesting...

To save his own .. in Nebraska, Nelson is going to be FORCED to support much of what comes up from the Republican Congress, even if he knows Obama will Veto it.

Disappointing about Heineman but I hope you are right about Mr Bruning being a strong candidate. Guess I can’t blame Heineman since he just got reelected and probably would have to start running for the Senate early in his new term.

This seat is one they can win and it will help propel the GOP to a majority in ‘12. The other Nelson in FL should be dumped too.

Ben, we’re coming after you next.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Sheesh can’t we just put ‘10 to bed before worrying about ‘12? Why don’t we just have elections every year for crying out loud

Bruning is a strong candidate — and with him leading the charge on AGs national Obamcare lawsuit, he’s a perfect match for Nelson.

Ben Nelson is one of five or six Democrats that I think (barring a monumental change in the political climate) are going to be in trouble in 2012. It’s up to the voters of Nebraska, of course. But I think he’ll be defeated by any credible GOP challenger.

EASY GOP pick-up!
