Rush said that Nelson is being held hostage by a hospital under construction in Omaha (the fate of which hangs with Obamacare) and the threat to close Offutt AF Base.
Sounds like a dandy opportunity to create some mischef by recruiting Nelson over to the GOP with promises to secure both.
I heard that, also. This is infuriating, these amounts of money and important decisions being used as threats and bribes for one senator's vote on one bill. If we had decent laws governing the behavior of elected officials, all involved would spend the rest of their lives in jail.
