Hmm...a guy who hasn't lived in Nebraska for a decade or more.  That would really tick me off.

bullit:
Pat Flynn from Schuyler is running again.  Did respectable against Johanns.

Roper:
Rumors are floating that the present Secretary of Ag, Vilsac wants out or is wanted out of the Obama administration and that Ben might be in the running to replace him.  Farm Bill is coming up for discussion, the Dems know that he has a good chance of losing his seat.  Not sure that there is anything to it, but it's something that I have heard more than once.

What's the procedure for replacing a missing Senator in NE?  Does Heineman appoint someone, is there a special election?  Either way, I doubt the White House would take Ben since his seat will almost certainly go red.
