Bob Kerrey opts out of Nebraska Senate race, Republican prospects improve with Mike Johanns or Jon Bruning.

Now that former Governor and U. s. Senator, Bob "Nebraska's darling son" Kerrey, has opted out of running for Chuck Hagel's Senate seat, (listen to why he decided against running) the prospects have GREATLY improved for Republicans to retain the seat with a Republican nominee of either former Mayor, Governor and Bush's Agricultural Secretary, Mike Johanns, or current Nebraska Attorney General, Jon Bruning.

Good news for Republicans, but stay tuned, as I suspect Bob Kerrey may run for Senate in New York state instead.
