Nelson gives a whole new meaning to "screwed."

Not sure if the state's former Attorney General and newly-elected Treasurer quite counts as a "perennial candidate," but yeah, Nelson is screwed.

This is a 2012 GOP pick-up if I ever saw one.

I hope Gov. Heineman can get in on the action as well.

Heineman took himself out of consideration.

I was under the impression that Heineman was a "moderate" Republican that Tea Party types hate?  I think that would give him some primary trouble.

Steve Lathrop would make a good candidate, but it's hard to see any Democrat actually winning. Especially Ben Nelson.

If that were the case, he would have had a serious challenge this year for the governorship. Plus, he has a ~70% approval rating in deep-end conservative Nebraska, which I wouldn't expect from a moderate hero.

Not sure how Nebraska, of all states, has a Democratic senator in the first place.

Nebraska elects Democratic Senators. Bob Kerrey was mch more liberal than Ben nelson and got re-elected in 1994, even.
Heineman requested extra stimulus fnds and initially supported the stimulus. He also asked for a "bailout" of some agriculutural industry for Nebraska. Don't think these wouldn't become issues, even if he is popular now. If he ran for Senate, primary challengers would hammer him hard. And they would likely succeed.

Looks like we know who will be "Lincoln-ed" in 2012 if he even dares to stick around.

Nice try but considering Lincoln lost by a greater margin, she's the new low standard.  Wink  And it's "Santorum-ized" around these parts.

I would think Santorumized would be something similar to being sodomized, more than politics.

Santorum already has a colloquial meaning unrelated to his margin of loss.

I was simply joking with the Repuublican anyways. Sorry Keystone Phil!

     How about we go with "Church-ed"? It's not like incumbent Senators lost by big margins for the first time in this last decade.

Frank Church lost by less than 1%.

In 2013, at the age of 71, he will have served two terms as a U.S. Senator after two terms as Governor. Yeah, I think it worked out just fine.
