As I recall, he sure helped drag the asssault weapons bill across the finish line. “Here I am, big war hero, we don’t need these big bad guns”.
Just damn..... There’s a pick up that won’t happen....
He reminds me a little of Mark Warner here in my state of VA. He could put together the worst legislative record imaginable, but nearly everyone would still love him, for whatever reason.
Sounds like Kerrey has decided to do what he can to help the Party. Too bad he doesn’t care about the country as much.
Stenberg is a perennial candidate for various offices in Nebraska, most of which he’s lost. He’s probably a good guy but he’s not a rock star.
The Republican who could walk away with this seat is Gov. Dave Heineman, but so far he’s chosen not to run, and his filing deadline for incumbents has passed, so now his only option would be to resign the Governorship immediately after Kerrey announces so that he can qualify for the non-incumbent deadline.
So with his head-fake by saying he wasn’t interested and then changing his mind, Bob Kerrey very cleverly out-maneuvered the Republicans, who will have to either rely on a weaker candidate, a RINO, or lose a good Governor.
I hope that this is enough. Some dismiss Stenberg as a perennial candidate, but he in most of his election losses, he was massively outspent.
