As I have farm property in Nebraska, I have been watching the Nebraska U.S. Senate Primary race. Here's the latest (Source: Michelle Malkin's blog):
Nebraska state Senator Deb Fischer pulled off a surprise upset victory against Nebraska Attorney General Jon Bruning in the state’s Republican Senate primary Tuesday, marking the second contest in two weeks in which an establishment favorite was upended by a dark horse candidate in a Senate primary.
Fischer, a rural rancher from the state’s 43rd legislative district, eked out a 5-point victory over Bruning, winning 41 percent to the Attorney General’s 36 percent with nearly all the votes counted. State Treasurer Don Stenberg earned 19 percent.
As of just a few weeks ago, Bruning was widely considered the favorite in the race, and was expected to handily defeat Fischer and Stenberg to face off against Democratic candidate Bob Kerrey in November.
Kerrey has been out of Nebraska since he retired from the Senate. He's been out of touch anyway.
According to Rush Limbaugh this morning, latest tracking polls show Fischer leading Kerrey by double-digits. Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin endorsed Fischer during the primary campaign.
I am urging Nebraskans to support Deb Fischer for U.S. Senate.
