Incumbency often translates into sufficient name recognition to give the incumbent a few points on election day. If Nelson is Secretary of Agriculture and Governor Johanns appoints himself to finish out the last two years of Nelson's term, Johanns becomes the incumbent with no strong challenger on the horizon.

In addition, if Nelson decides to become Secretary of Agriculture, the Senate becomes:
Republicans: 56
Democrats: 42
Independents: 1
