That punk Nelson deserves to get exactly as many votes Nebraska in 2012 as his master gets.
From what I know Heineman is one of our better Governors. Maybe he should be considered for the national ticket.
Nelson got some special favors for Nebraska in exchange for this, so I have no idea what the local reaction will be. Nelson won easily in 2006 against a Republican who spent a ton of his own money.
Electorally, Nelson has wavered between winning by landslides and barely winning cliffhangers.
