The good news for Senator Ben Nelson is that he doesn’t have to face Nebraska voters until 2012.
If Governor Dave Heineman challenges Nelson for the Senate job, a new
Rasmussen Reports telephone survey shows the Republican would get 61%
of the vote while Nelson would get just 30%. Nelson was reelected to a
second Senate term in 2006 with 64% of the vote.
Nelson's health care vote is clearly dragging his numbers down. Just
17% of Nebraska voters approve of the deal their senator made on
Medicaid in exchange for his vote in support of the plan. Overall, 64%
oppose the health care legislation, including 53% who are Strongly
Opposed. In Nebraska, opposition is even stronger than it is
nationally.

He may even get recalled ... snicker.
ReplyDeleteOne way or another, Ben Nelson is toast!
ReplyDeleteIt could not happen to a nicer guy.
Kristopher, unless you know something I don't know, Nebraska does not have a recall law, as I have been informed.
ReplyDeleteGothguy
Conservative Nebraskan.
He's going nowhere and will either be re-elected or replaced at the last second like the dude in New Jersey. Democrats win by changing the game. This is a mere bump in the road for them. They'll retain the seat.
ReplyDeleteThat'll be two less Nelsons. Florid will scrape one off their shoe.
ReplyDeleteWe shall see.
ReplyDeleteI have it on good authority that Ted Kennedy has been given (a mere) 800 years in purgatory and that it consists of the cries of 35million aborted infants and cheap Scotch.
ReplyDeleteBen Nelson will be there with him one day.
In the interim, Nebraskans will show this Judas the door as a result of his selling out the fate of unborn fetuses for $300 million in Medicaid money.
This guy gives Heidi Fleiss (and other whores everywhere) a bad name.
Too bad. It needs one.
ReplyDeleteMaybe someone in the legislature can introduce it just for federal Senators, with a two year sunset provision?
It will let the good Senator know exactly how much he is loved.
