Another Dem biting the dust...

Ben Nelson retiring from Senate - John Bresnahan - POLITICO.com

Democratic Sen. Ben Nelson of Nebraska will announce today that he is retiring after two terms, a serious blow to Democratic efforts to hold onto their majority in the chamber next November.

But with Nelson stepping down, the Democrats’ hold on the Senate is in serious doubt, although Democratic leaders believe they can still do so. Republicans are expected to pick up control of the Cornhusker State seat, although popular former Sen. Bob Kerrey (D) has been talking to top Democrats about possibly running again.

Overall, 23 Democratic-controlled seats are up this cycle, while Republicans have to defend only 10. Senate Republicans need to only pick up four seats to grab control of the chamber.

Not surprised. He was the most endangered Democrat in the Senate this election cycle.

We hate ta see you go.

The writing is on the wall for Democrats this election just like last time, and just like it was for the GOP in 2008. This wont be the last Dem to announce his retirement. Especially in the face of redistricting.

All that counts is the House and the Senate. And the Senate is a do or die.

I would take Obama with a GOP House and Senate that was veto proof over a Democratic Senate and Ron Paul in the White House.

Idiot. RINO's would conspire (In a Bi-Partisan Manner) with Obama to pass everything he wants. You seem to forget how RINO's were so eager to "work with Democrats" when they had power? That f*ckin' idiot McCain would suck Obama' c*ck whenever he could.

You haven't learned a thing have you?

Some DO have the sense to get out of the way of the shitstorm they caused.

Olympia Snow is a fucking RINO...... McCain is a puppet as is Obama.
