Kris Pierce

Kris Pierce is going to run for SOS against John Gale. The happiest man in the state has to be John Gale. Kris Pierce is not even liked by most democrats in this state he would not survive a primary if he is challenged in one. Almost any other democrat would beat Kris Pierce. Not because he is not liberal enough he leans very far to the left. Kris pierce is just not liked he ticked off tons of other democrats the democratic party does not like him. Yet they will be forced to support him but they wont. I am predicting right now that John Gale will receive 80% of the vote at the minimum.

Potential Comeback

Conservative columnist George Will has mentioned a GOP comeback could be brewing for 2010. Will this happen I don't know but it could even thought the more likely scenario is that the GOP will gain seats in the House and the Senate. With Rep. Mike Castle now in the U.S. Senate race on Delaware that race has to be a toss-up. Mike Castle is a former two-term Governor and has been Delaware's lone house member and is serving his ninth term. It is a race that looks a lot more favorable for a GOP pickup in 2010.

Here in Nebraska if state senator Tom White is going to try and unseat Rep. Lee Terry the Senator is going to need President Obama's numbers to move to back to the upper fifties. Even then Lee Terry is going to have a distinct advantage as an incumbent and someone who can work across the isle. Tom White is going to be the top of the democratic ticket in Nebraska which is tough for someone who is running for Congress and not governor. The democrats will have a tough 2010 if Tom White has to carry the ticket. The democrats don't even have anyone who could run for State Treasurer 2010 will be the normal dominance the GOP holds over the democrats in this state.
