ELECTIONS ARE COMING! DEB FISCHER FOR SENATE IN NEBRASKA
http://times247.com/articles/upset-fischer-wins-neb-senate-gop-primary
State Sen. Deb Fischer upended the Nebraska Senate GOP primary on Tuesday, coming from behind to win the nomination over perceived front-runner Attorney General Jon Bruning, who had been leading in the polls by double digits just weeks ago.
Fischer will face former governor and Democratic Sen. Bob Kerrey this November in an open race for the seat currently held by retiring Democratic Sen. Ben Nelson. Fischer enters the general election with an edge over Kerrey because of the conservative lean of the Cornhusker State. National Democrats see Kerrey as their best chance to keep the state in Democratic hands, while Republicans view it as a must-win in their efforts to win a Senate majority. Democrats currently control the chamber 53-47.
Treasurer Don Stenberg fell short in what was essentially a three-way nomination contest, delivering an electoral blow to the cadre of conservative activists that had endorsed him, including Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., the anti-tax group Club for Growth, and the Tea Party-aligned Freedom Works.
