#1 The telephone survey of 500 Nebraskans, conducted Monday, suggested Republican Gov. Dave Heineman would defeat Nelson in a potential 2012 Senate race by a 61-30 margin.

Not something a pricey TV add and a cardigan are likely to fix. You can stick a fork in it Ben, you're DONE!

....No tie? How very Obamisch, I'm on holiday you know.

#3 Nelson served his purpose. He's now disposable.

#4 People have ADD; they'll forget by the time they go behind the curtain, and say "Nelson? That sounds familiar." And re-elect him.

#6 Rantburg should have a graphic of toast popping up out of a toaster...or maybe some toast on a plate with butter on it.

#7 Dave Heineman would defeat Nelson in a potential 2012 Senate race by a 61-30 margin.

These donks certainly seem to be on a suicide mission. Let's hope the voters don't forget by election time. Not likely since the economy is in the dumper and assured to go further in the dumper with the really dumb economic policies that are being pursued. There are few jobs aside from government jobs. These jobs don't create any wealth--only suck money from any taxpayers who are left. We've managed to give away to our economy to foreign countries such as India, China, and third-world countries. More taxation will only make things worse. Out-of-control spending money we don't have will make the economy worse. No, I don't think the voters will forget. So the burnt toast pic is appropriate for Nelson.

#8 few jobs aside from government jobs

When 51% of the voters are on the government payroll (one way or another) how can it be stopped from being 100%?

#11 I'll bet Nelson's bribe doesn't make it into the final bill. He will have thrown away his career for nothing.
