Deb Fischer Surges Into The Lead On The Eve Of Nebraska GOP Senate Primary; Update: New Facebook Note From Palin; Update: Herman Cain Endorses Fischer

RESIZE: AAA

On the eve of Nebraska’s GOP Senate primary, We Ask America has Deb Fischer surging into the lead. As you can see from the chart below, that is a remarkable 21 point swing over a period of one week. According to the pollster, it sounds like Fischer has benefited from significant financial support from TD Ameritrade founder, Joe Ricketts. However, something else happened in the past week, which is conveniently omitted from their analysis. As I wrote in this post, Sarah Palin endorsed Fischer last Wednesday.

Fischer poll

Jon Bruning’s liberal record has been a frequent topic of conversation on Redstate. This post by Erick Erickson lays it out the best. I know Erick supports Stenberg, but if this poll is any indication, it looks like Nebraska conservatives need to unite behind Fischer tomorrow.

Update: New Facebook note from Palin in support of Fischer.

Tomorrow voters go to the polls in Nebraska. Please remember to vote for Deb Fischer as the next U.S. Senator from the Cornhusker State…..

Update: Herman Cain endorsed Fischer tonight.

(Atlanta) On the eve of the Nebraska Primary Election, former presidential frontrunner Herman Cain announced his endorsement of Republican U.S. Senate Candidate Deb Fischer. Cain joins Sarah Palin and Representative Jeff Fortenberry in formally supporting Fischer over her Republican rivals Jon Bruning and Don Stenberg.

“As a state Senator, Deb Fischer has offered bold solutions for tax reform,” Cain said. “I support Deb’s run for the Senate because I know she can take this courage and common sense drive to the federal level.” ……

    Try sizing your graphics in pixels, not %.

    The graphic above is width=”450″ height=”100″.

    The column is 500 wide. % may work on width, but on height it blows up.

    Thanks.

      I see you fixed it. Thanks.

      How do you find the original dim ensions to retain the same proportions?

      By the way, it looked fine on my laptop, but on my iphone it blew up.

    For those interested, I tried to do the best analysis I could without being biased. I have those, of course, and tried to list those as well, for full disclosure. The late endorsements have been interesting, and the closeness of the race should make tonight fun to watch. I’m comfortable, policy wise, going forward with any of the three. I wouldn’t vote for Stenberg in a primary, and have made my thoughts on that elsewhere. I’ve also made commentary on why I think Erick’s post about Bruning didn’t tell the entire story. But at this point, in Nebraska, we’re going to need to coalesce behind whoever wins, to ensure Obama’s buddy, Bob Kerrey, doesn’t win election here. While it shouldn’t be that difficult, shining as much light on Kerrey’s probelms needs to happen early and often.

    For those interested, my analysis in the race and commentary is here:

    If you’re in Nebraska, please make sure you vote today! I was eighth in my precinct this morning.

    Have a great day, folks!

      That posting doesn’t have Herman Cain’s endorsement, and doesn’t have the latest polls from over the weekend, because I wrote it last Friday. RWN has the polls listed above, the weaskamerica poll and the one cited by Breitbart.

      One thing I would add: Stenberg and Bruning have been fully vetted in this campaign. That’s the one issue I might have with Fischer. Again, I will wholeheartedly support her if she wins the nomination tonight, but that would be my one concern.

      And it’s a purely non-ideological question.

      Here in Florida, we are seeing upwards of 40% casting their votes early. Politics is fast moving, especially in today’s 24/7 news cycle, and the ability to instantly disseminate a breaking story.

      Also, I thin we lose something in our identity as Americans when we are all not going to the polls at the same time…

    …for Deb Fischer.
