Ernie Chambers might run again

LINCOLN ? The ?King Cobra? might hiss again in the Nebraska Legislature.
Former State Sen. Ernie Chambers of Omaha, who has likened himself to a king cobra snake because of its power, said he's ready to run again for his old north Omaha seat ?if things don't change? at the State Capitol.
Chambers, who will turn 73 on July 10, was not allowed to run for re-election in 2008 under Nebraska's term limits law.

If he runs he'll get reelected.  Hopefully this time the Legislature will have the cojones to stand up to the bully.

Hardwood83:
"Chambers, a member of the Omaha-area Learning Community board, acknowledged that a lot could change between now and 2012. He might even be dead by then, he said."

We can only hope.

SBarry:
Ernie "Pull out the race card" Chambers. He wants to fund abortion and increase the time allowed for abortion. Too bad his mother didn't agree with him. His legacy could have been Ernie "pulled out with a clothes hanger and thrown down a gutter" Chambers.

Mudinyeri:
I had the opportunity to interview Ernie several times while I was in college.  (My undergrad degree is in journalism.)  You might be surprised by him when the cameras are off and the reporters aren't around.

If you read the OWH article carefully, you'll see that Ernie sees himself as a catalyst that forces discussion and debate.  Does he really believe all the stuff he says in his heart or is he doing some of it to make people think and react?  I know for a fact, from the discussions I had with him after the recorder and camera were off, he's doing some of it simply to make people think about the opposite side of the question.
