For the past year, if you’d asked political observers to name the candidate most likely to win the Republican nomination for senator from Nebraska, the response probably would have been state Attorney General Jon Bruning.
But in the last few weeks, high-profile Republicans and tea party groups have stepped into the open-seat race and divided their loyalties among three top contenders, making a Bruning victory less certain. Incumbent Democratic Sen. Ben Nelson decided to retire rather than seek a third term, creating the up-for-grabs race.
