I can hardly call getting a plurality of 41% “stunning.”

Well PC, so nice of you to comment so far up north on my state.

I posted this to you on another discussion, but I’ll post it again for those on this thread.

In Nebraska, for down-ticket races, it’s a plurality that wins. This was suppose to be a slam dunk for Bruning with his money, name recognition and ground game. While Bruning and Stenberg slammed it out with hit ads, Fischer quietly took her ground game and watched the top two bloody each other. Only in the very end (when Deb was surging) did Bruning mount any kind of attack ads on Fischer.

To show how much distance she made up consult RCP:

In early May, Bruning was up by 16 points. The pundits and press were already gearing up for a Bruning vs Kerry fight.

Nice State you have there, from down South in Texas. There is clearly much to be admired about the Nebraska people clearly they did not agree with what Bill did on their behalf.
