(59,504 posts)The fact is the race is just starting. Kerrey, like him or not, is a pretty dynamic person and looks younger than he is. The fact is that Nebraska is a challenge. It is not a liberal or naturally Democratic state. Even Nelson, the most conservative Democrat in the Senate, was facing a tough re-election.

By November 2012 he'll be in the lead.

(1,721 posts)The Nebraska Democratic Party doesn't have a good track record of building and creating leaders who can win political campaigns. Jim Esch came really close to the winning against Lee Terry, he had grassroots support behind him. Tom White's campaign spent most of their time canvassing Republicans, trying to get them to change their votes. I have no idea why the kids running White's campaign didn't want to stir up the grassroots support that Esch was able to get.

This race just started.Kerrey might not win In november but I hardly think we should assume It will be a double diget loss In november
based on march polls
