Who is lined up in the Nebraska GOP to take out Hagel? If they can't take out Nelson, who's gonna take out an incumbent?

BTW I sincerely hope you're right, but my experience is that there are a lot of FDR Democrats voting Republican in Nebraska because of the demise of the democrat party - that doesn't mean that they are Conservatives.

Ricketts, Heinemann, Osborne, Stenberg ... Any of them could give Hagel a challenge as much as he's shat on the hometown folks.

It isn't that unseating Hagel will require a strong candidate. It's that Hagel is such a weak, vulnerable incumbent. All that's really necessary is to overcome the liberal wing of the party, and the incessant boosterism from the World-Herald.
