The big money so far in the Nebraska U.S. Senate race is in the Democratic camp.

Sen. Ben Nelson, expected to run for a second term, has increased his war chest to more than $2.6 million.

"Steady as she goes," said Paul Johnson, Nelson's political consultant.

Nelson raised $507,564 and spent $190,785 in the third quarter of this year, according to his latest disclosure report filed Friday with the Federal Election Commission.

Johnson said Nelson had raised more than $3.1 million for the campaign.

2. Maybe he can use the money to build a DINOsaur theme park.

5. If ever a Primary challenge were warranted this would be it

This man is the next Zell Miller. He is not a Democrat except in name only. :shrug: Another corrupt paid for politician. It is because of people like him that Democrats have the reputation of being no different than Republicans. Are there no honest Democrats in Nebraska?

6. He has voted with US more than Hagel, but...

I too would prefer to mark other on my primary ballot. I guess I won't vote as a protest. We are just now maybe getting a Governor on the ballot.

7. He truly is the best we'll ever get out of Nebraska.

Nebraska voted for Shrub about 2 to 1 last time.
