I would never wish any harm to the man- but I just plain don't like him.   8)

There have been so few bills reach the floor that all but the most extreme anti's have not supported, and since she has not directly been involved with anything I have been working on it will take me some time to research her more using a little more broad definition than I usually do ( hunting and sportsman's, other criminal issues as well as firearm) makes the work a bit harder.

At the moment I can add she has been endorsed/supported by Brad Ashford if that helps.

Well, that says alot.

What do you guys think of Charlie Janssen's chances?  I have a feeling he won't do well in Lincoln and Omaha but the rest of the state would like him.

This is true.  I think Charlie would do a great job, but....

If Pete Ricketts gets in the race like he hinted to me he was going to do when we were talking back at the Wash. Co. fair... Charlie may not even be able to compete. 

It seems anymore that there's a 90% chance that the guy that spends the most money, is the one who wins.

Another serious contender has to be Herbster.  I know most of us know nothing about him but he has pulled in a lot of Heineman's staff for his campaign.  It comes down to being about the people you have working for you and the money, and he right people can bring in the money.
