Interesting...I thought this race was pretty much off the board after the Tea Party candidate dropped off the ballot. I guess the Dem wave truly is raising all boats!

I think it may just be localized to Omaha, because that is where Deadoman lives, and swing voters are offended by his posts right on the the Atlas.

Could be! Democrats are doing very well in IA-03 as well.

It must be pretty bad if Terry had to resort to a racist ad to try and save himself. In 2008, he was tying himself to Obama, so it's clear that he will say and do anything to keep his seat.

Brad Ashford is a former Republican and has run generally as a very centrist candidate. Combine that with the fact that Lee Terry is a terrible candidate, and it's not hard to see a R+4 district flip.

Let's not forget, Obama won this district in 2008.

And Ashford represents a legislature district that is even more republican than NE-02

The legislature made it a tad more Republican after the census. I don't think he would have won it in 2012 on 2008 results.

I thought he didn't, but he actually carried it 50/49.

Terry barely won his primary against some guy who didn't even campaign. I've always assumed he was doomed since then. Democrats should have run a stronger candidate than Ashford, he doesn't inspire confidence to hold the seat.

This is looking more and more like an across the board anti-incumbent year, and Terry is an 8-term incumbent who won his primary by less than 3,000 votes this year. Plus he's generally awful. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see him ousted.

Yeah ... this weird election cycle is more anti-incumbent than anti-Democrat ... it started with Eric Cantor, and it may take down Pat Roberts, Sam Brownback, Lynne Jenkins, and a bunch of other red state Republicans in addition to all the Democrats.
