NE-Magellan: Nelson trails Bruning, perennial candidate

[Napoleon]

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.

He'd probably retire(?), but Im not sure what would be best for democrats...

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

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.

You mean "Santorum-ed"?

Nice try but considering Lincoln lost by a greater margin, she's the new low standard.    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 believe it was referenced in the post right above yours.

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