In a major upset, State Senator Deb Fischer tallied 40% of the Nebraska GOP US Senate Primary vote to earn the right to face ex-Senator Bob Kerrey in the race to replace retiring Ben Nelson. Kerrey has been lagging way behind the expected GOP candidate, so perhaps this is the break he was waiting for--now he can run against Sarah Palin directly. I can see the ads now: "The War Hero vs. Palin's Puppet: Who Do you Trust?". This win literally came out of nowhere, and it was only with Palin's robocalls that Fischer could win this nomination.
It's a race between a candidate who says Democrats should not be afraid to vote for good Replublican ideas and Republicans should not be afraid to vote for good Demcratic ideas. He favors retaining ObamaCare, Fischer vows to repeal it. Fischer is a far right candidate from the Palin wing. The race is on in Nebraska--and we may have been given a wonderful gift, courtesy of our friend Sarah Palin.
