I’m pretty confident that Nebraska will send Deb Fischer to the Senate and Kerrey back to NYC. I’ve been following the race pretty closely (live in Omaha) and the last Rasmussen poll had Deb up by 18%.
One of the popular (and very successful) slogans I’ve heard thrown around is why send a third Senator from NYC to Washington?

I sure hope you’re right.

Going to NYC after a long Senate career is even WORSE than "going native" and living in Maryland or Virginia. It would be sort of like being on a diplomatic mission in East Germany during the Soviet era and retiring to Moscow afterwards.

Fischer is beating Kerrey like a rented mule! Looks like he took (or will take) one for the team. Probably his last visit to Nebraska...

With this NYC baggage, I am hardly convinced Bobbbb is all that interested in running either, in Nebraska. A resume put out to the considered rubes he left behind is not a gesture of dedication to the people.

A snob in high heels trailing along behind you, penning snark in foo foo NY mags is not a winning ticket, surely.

He didn’t do Nebraskan any favors, the first time he supposedly represented them. I hope you are right; but never underestimate the power of stupid voters in large numbers. Just think, if it weren’t for the Benator, and his votes, shenanigans, Cornhusker kickback, etc, we would not have Obamacare right now.

That a great line! Elections have been won with much less.
