Bob Kerrey needs to stay the heck out of politics. He thinks we have all forgotten his record and his past. We haven’t. He is also a war criminal as far as I am concerned: all those civilians that his outfit killed in Vietnam were no accident and the navy covered it up.

At the moment, Kerrey is running well behind a state senator, Deb Fischer, who stunned the Nebraska political establishment by defeating two better-funded and better-known candidates in the Republican primary in May.

Oddly, the article never mentions why Deb Fischer won that primary, even though that should be relevant given their mention of her "two better-funded and better-known" primary opponents. Are they afraid to mention the momma grizzly powerhouse who turned that primary election around with one well-deserved endorsement? I'm not at all happy that my top choice stayed out of the presidential election this year, but I'm still wondering if it was the right decision. The far left media would have made her the only issue, one that they have sufficient control over to twist beyond recognition, instead of the economy as the central issue, where there are limits on how much they can lie. If republicans retake the Senate with conservative republicans, and win the White House (even if it's only Romney), I'll admit that she made the right call.

Looks like being a "heartland heartthrob" doesn't buy all that much in NYC.

I spent 15 months on the island (Hon Tre) where Bob did the event for which he was awarded the MOH. Now it has a very upscale resort with a tram connecting it to the mainland.

Bob Kerrey.. I remember they always said about him, “He talks like Ronald Reagan and votes like Teddy Kennedy.”
He’s been a sneaky, lying p.o.s. from the beginning.

Kerrey was a popular Gov because 25 years ago he posed as a conservative Democrat, like many Nebraskans.

He doesn’t get a free ride because he is a former seal any more than Tom Osborne (former Congressman, legendary Cornhuskers football head coach) got a free ride when he supported illegals getting free college tuition. He was promptly booted by the voters for this.

I am happy that Kerrey is losing. I have alot of pride in Nebraskans and their values. It was a great place to grow up.

While I honor Bob Kerrey's Medal of Honor military service to our nation... I would not vote for him even if the Democrats held an AR-15 to my head.

Kerrey’s wife, former “Saturday Night Live” writer Sarah Paley, describing Nebraskans as though they were an alien species to someone with New York sensibilities.

“The Midwest is a strange land for an Easterner of my ilk,” Paley wrote. “Midwesterners even have their own language. They say ‘pop’ for soda, ‘sack’ for bag, ‘billfold’ for wallet. They do not worry. They do not suffer from guilt.”

What the hell is wrong with that?? She sounds like a snot.

Clearly with the MOH it shows he has great physical courage, but from his voting record, very little moral courage.

Deb Fischer, Kerrey’s challenger, rode in on the backs of the Tea Party to win the primary. Tea Party enthusiasm will lead her to a double digit defeat of Kerrey.

This seat was going GOP no matter who won the primary and who the Rat candidate was, but it’s great to have a solid conservative like Fischer going to DC.
