Nebraska Senate race 2012

It's probably in the news by now, but some old friends tell me that current Attorney General Jon Bruning will form a Senate exploration panel now that Gov. Heineman has opted not to challenge Ben Nelson.

In all openness, I used to work for Bruning. He can be a bit polarizing, but he is 100% committed to protecting gun rights and the Second Amendment. He is also the rare political figure who says what he thinks instead of what is "proper."

This is something for we gunnies to keep an eye on. Obviously 2012 is ways out, but we would be hard pressed to find a better pro-gun politician to take on Nelson.

DaveB:
While my pet salamander (Independent) could win against bin Nelson, I would vote for Mr. Bruning. As far as I can remember, he has not done anything to even appear to take rights away from me.

There is a poll here that if it is and indication, he would win.

joe,
I ask this with all due respect.....what does the term "polarizing" mean/imply.  I hear it oft used by the Dems and RINOs (not an attack on you by any means).  Just curious as to your definition...again with all due respect.

FarmerRick:
Not answering for JM24, but usually in the media what they call "polarizing" is just someone that is not wishy-washy and sticks to their ideals... be they conservative or liberal.

bkoenig:
Bruning has always struck me as a bit of an opportunist, pretty much a stereotypical career politician.  That being said, he does fall on the right side of pretty much every issue I care about so I intend to vote for him if he runs.
