[Norm Lenhart]

They will dig through his past until they have a video with him attending a hetrosexual wedding for his family member and tell people he hates gays.

THEN fund his opponent after smearing him a while.

A chunk of FR will then condemn him, as they did with Akin costing us the win they claim they want so bad, claim we need to win anyway and vote for whoever the GOP calls for as a write in. then we lose another seat.

Who needs logic, sense or reason? We gotta WIN!

[Rome2000]

FUMM

[GeronL]

Wow, an actual Democrat came in second?

[BigEdLB]

that governor primary is a doozy

[FreeReign]

The sleeping giant silent majority has awakened???

Well at least Nebraska is awake.

[FreeReign]

Will the GOPe fund him and support him or do to him what they did to Ken Cuccinelli????????

That would only work in close race like in Virginia, so I don't think Sasse will get cuccinellied.

[Theodore R.]

Osborne was the choice of the McC’s. I hope Sasse’s win is not the only conservative victory of the year, but it could well be.

[Theodore R.]

Runoffs are only in the South.

[Viennacon]

Shannon will likely win in OK.

[WTFOVR]

Only 2 precincts remain (17/19) - Stanton County, which is in the Omaha / Lincoln area ... I guarantee Dave is making phone calls to make sure his “boy” wins ... They’ll “find” just enough ballots to put Bruning over the top. At this moment the race is within 1 percentage point

Pete Ricketts has 26.48%
Jon Bruning has 25.49%

99.89% precincts counted

[SoFloFreeper]

But, but, but...Gallup just came out with an article that assured us the Tea Party was dead!

[CSM]

Thank you Nebraskans! I appreciate your wise decision on this day.

[RedMDer]

Your loyal support makes Free Republic possible
and your continuing participation makes FR the number one,
independent, pro-life, pro-family, pro-small government, pro-defense,
grassroots conservative forum on the Net!!

[Lazamataz]

CBS called a 27 point Ben Sasse win in Nebraska 'modest'.

Gobsmacked.

[Lazamataz]

And CBS called this 27-point win a ‘modest’ win.

[SoFloFreeper]

:) I saw that.

Fine with me...let ‘em be stunned in November. :)

[Din Maker]

But, I thought that Mitch McConnell and the GOP Establishment was going to “crush” all the Tea Party candidates....”all over the country”.

[Din Maker]

Ricketts defeated Bruning by 2200 votes out of 219,000 votes cast. Double Whammy in Nebraska.

[Theodore R.]

He has the potential to be NE’s best politician since the late Carl T. Curtis, whom few even remember.
