America’s Future has produced a new ad slamming Nebraska Senator Ben Nelson for extracting $100 million in additional federal Medicaid funds for his state. The ad drives the point relentlessly home: No other senator got such a good deal for his state! And it lasts forever! And this is supposed to make Nebraskans LESS likely to re-elect Nelson?

Well, if Nelson were running in the Tea Party Primary, his position would certainly kill his chances.

Polls of Nebraskans have shown that support by Nebraskans for Nelson and for ObamaCare both dropped after Nelson negotiated his special deal for the state.

Don’t assume that everybody has their hand out for a welfare check.

Didn’t Senator Nelson already say he’s retiring at the end of his term? I understood he was not going for re-election.
Please advise.
