With Osborn Out, Planned Parenthood’s Republican Tries to Take Out Ben Sasse (NE)

Shane Osborn is done in Nebraska. He cannot get the momentum to win the race. At this point, Osborn is taking the position that if he can’t win the Senate race, neither should Ben Sasse. Osborn, who thought the race was his, is desperately upset. Joined with a Mitch McConnell Super PAC, Osborn is now throwing everything he has at Ben Sasse.

Waiting in the wings, with Osborn fully understanding what is happening, is Sid Dinsdale. Dinsdale is extremely rich, has a lot of money to burn at the end of the race, has benefited from sitting on the sidelines above the fray, and is a Democrat.

But Dinsdale joined the race as a Republican.

Dinsdale’s wife and daughter are on the board of Planned Parenthood in Nebraska. His family has married into Warren Buffet’s family. After the Cornhusker Kickback and Ben Nelson’s vote for Obamacare, Sid Dinsdale gave him money through his bank’s PAC.

Dinsdale is on record saying he would “always” vote to raise the debt limit.

Before the campaign began, Republicans in Washington were under the impression he would be the Democrat in the race. Rumor was that he was meeting with Democrat consultants.

And now, at the end of a bitterly fought race in Nebraska, Dinsdale might win. Osborn has destroyed his last bit of credibility and has driven his own negatives so high that he can’t win. Sasse is in the lead with Osborn and McConnell’s PAC attacking him. Now Dinsdale is finally beginning to spend major money.

Conservatives better act fast and help Ben Sasse.

This was predicted. Team Romney and Rove
have the knives out to destroy every conservative
until polygamy and ObamaCARE/ROmneyCARE are
the accepted standards of the GOP.

Wake up, conservatives.

The G(ave) O(bama) P(ower) party is no different
than it was in 2008 when it went after Gov. Palin
and her children.

“Nebraskans know a RAT when they see one.”

Do you live in Nebraska? If so, what’s the feel there?

And why not include Haley Barbour in that list? Now, some of you GOP Establishment tolerance pimps, here on FR, tell us again why we should not revolt and vote for the Dem in the General Election against the likes of Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham, Thad Cochran, Thom Tillis, Pat Roberts and Lamar Alexander. You finish the list.

Depending on which polling you use, the consensus here in NE is that Sasse in the lead (with momentum). Sasse just got big endorsement from the Nebraska Farm Bureau.

I’m a volunteer for his campaign and I do sense a feeling of momentum for him when I walk my precincts.

Osborn is “RINO upped” with his relationships with McConnell and McCain.
