It's a Republican state and if there is any hint the Senate might turn over, the Republicans will turn out in droves to run Nelson out of Washington on a rail.
He's up against the son of the TD/Ameritrade founder. Where are the Democrats going to come up with THAT kind of money?
sell drugs? Kick backs? Illegal aliens?
OK, but he's up by 19 right now...snip from here
May 13, 2006--The latest Rasmussen Reports election poll in Nebraska shows Democratic Senator Ben Nelson leads former Ameritrade COO Pete Ricketts (R) 54% to 35% (see crosstabs). Conducted the night after Ricketts won the Republican primary, the new survey shows little change from our pre-primary poll in April.
Nebraska is generally a very Republican state with 570,000 registered Republicans versus 375,000 Democrats. President Bush carried the state by 33 percentage points in Election 2004 and many GOP strategists had long hoped that the Republican tilt to the state would be enough to unseat the incumbent Democrat in this year’s Senate race.
However, Senator Nelson's popularity and the power of incumbency gives him the edge at this time. Nelson is aided by the declining popularity of President Bush. While 66% of Nebraskans voted for Bush two years ago, just over 50% approve of his job performance today.
I hope you are right, I would like to see another (R) from NE. Maybe Hagel can help him by telling the people of Nebraska that for their voice to be heard, they can't have cancelling Senators.
"sell drugs? Kick backs? Illegal aliens"
you forgot dead voters
