They seem to be the early best choices, but we need them right where they are for now, and need to get a few things pushed through the legislature before we lose them. Can ernie chambers run again in a few years? I should be more up on the law, but if he can, we need to get as much done now before that could happen.

Wymore Wrangler:
I'd disagree with Heineman, his lack of leadership in HHS matters, he needs to go home and become a regular citizen again...

armed and humorous:
Heineman seems like somebody's puppet to me (probably a lot of politicians are).  I don't know of anything in particular he's done to really piss me off, and mostly I've agreed with his positions, but I don't think he'd be much of a senator.  Bruning, maybe, but he seems too ambitious.  I can't say he's done anything I disagree with, though, and he does support our 2A rights pretty well.  Fulton might be very good, but I don't think he has the clout to get in any time soon.  He probably needs more experience and to build a bigger base before he goes for it.  I liked Christensen a lot until I saw him with Fulton on Hannity's program.  Doesn't have the charisma to be effective in leadership roles (which is what we need, someone to lead and propose changes for us).  Among those four, I'd have to go with Bruning.  Anyone else?  I don't know.

FarmerRick:
I think the next interesting development will be to see who is picked to replace Sen. Friend in the Unicameral.  That may set other other things into motion, candidate-wise.

huskergun:
Puppet???? To whom????
The puppet is Johanns. Think back .....Brunning was set to run for Hagels senate seat along with Hal Daub and then the National Republican party inserted Johanns then Brunning dropped out and Daub dropped out two days after saying he was going to run. The national Republican party picked our candidate. We didn't. Don't get me wrong I really like Johanns but I wish we would have had a choice and saw a debate. Lee Terry is the same way. According to todays World Herald Terry has some compitition from another Republican and the state Republican leaders are trying like hell to get him to drop out. They have already picked Terry. They say it's part of their bylaws to stick with the incumbant. That's crap. Again don't get me wrong I like Terry I just want to hear them debate and pick the best one. I already know that the lib White isn't my choice. Sorry got side tracked.......
 Back to the topic......
 Both Heineman and Brunning would be the only ones I feel who would have a chance at kicking Nelson to the curb.

 LitlRat..... No ernie can't run again. But I'm sure if the Legislature goes the way of Omaha down the road some leftist will try to make him into the next savior and install him as such.
