Nebraska is VERY red.

True, but Nebraska feels they have to elect one Democrat to congress so the minority has representation. They are kind of funny that way.

Since Nebraska has to have at least one Democrat in congress, wouldn't you rather it be a senator like Ben Nelson or Jim Exxon rather than one like Bob Kerrey?

I don't know. I'm Texan, I recognize Exxon's name, and that's about it with him.

But I did respect Kerrey as someone who was reasonable most of the time (and I ALWAYS respect someone with a Congressional Medal of Honor - something no doubt his 'cousin' in Massachusetts wishes he could have scammed). There's even talk today about Kerrey running for Mayor of New York - even as a Dem he would be way more conservative than Bloomberg - it's driving people nuts out there. What I'd really love to see is Kerrey run as a Republican (or Democrat) against Hillary - now that would be fun.
