My guess is the dems will run Scott Kleeg. He had run against Adrian Peterson for the House seat a few years back. He’s a young, good-looking, pro-military (grew up in the military), socially liberal guy.
Seems like it always comes down to whether the rest of the state can make up for the Omaha vote (and Lincoln, somewhat).
I’m glad if Nelson isn’t running. I don’t even want to see ads showing his face and claiming he’s done great things. Everybody in our family knows if we’re watching the weather and an ad like that comes up, we need to mute the TV just to keep from getting sick.
Yeah, I thought of Kleeg (but had forgotten his name). Has he been in the public eye since losing in 2006? I don’t think he has run for anything else since then, and it will be difficult for a Democrat in NE with no electoral history to beat a statewide officeholder such as Stenberg or Bruning (or even a congressman such as Fortenberry).
He grew up in the miliary? When it came to serving, what did he do?
