MEMBER DIARY

Congrats to Deb Fischer, our next Nebraska Senator

RESIZE: AAA

Bruning?  Nope

Stenberg? Nope

Deb Fischer wins after spending 1/10th of the money.

Unity press conference today with both Bruning and Stenberg getting on board.

The “official” Tea Party people wanted Stenberg.

The “official” party folks wanted Bruning.

And while Bruning and Stenberg pounded on each other, Deb Fischer went out and organized and out campaigned them.  Good for her.

We may disagree with her on alternative energy and agriculture subsidies in the future (based on the positions on her web site), but she is pro-gun, pro-life, pro-balanced budget, and pro-tax relief.

The polls start her out at +10 over Bob Kerrey and we shouldn’t have to do anything more than cheer her along.

Good to see a grass roots upstart with a chance to go to Washington and represent.

Here is her victory speech:

    Unlike Lugar in Indiana, they all agree that it’s time to get behind the winner for November.

      We started the unity conference the day after the primary a while ago, and while it doesn’t always work out so well, I thought Jon and Don were both very cordial. I thought Jon conducted himself very well in both his concession speech the night before and on Wednesday. Nebraska’s always been like that. We have our differences, and the primaries may be a difficult struggle, but we have a good tendency to unite behind the winner. We had a problem with it once a while ago, and it ended up splitting the party during the general… and gave up Bob Kerrey’s first senate term. Hence the reason we started the unity press conference.

      Can’t wait to get started helping Deb Fischer send Bob Kerrey back to Greenwich Village in New York, where he belongs.

    The only issue I had with her is that she didn’t communicate her views very well, at least on her website.

    But I am pleased that there are several Senate candidates who are anti-Federal Reserve, Fischer is among them, additionally Ted Cruz and Kurt Bills.
