Another one jumps ship

Post by Rex B »

They are seeing the handwriting on the wall

Sen. Ben Nelson Announces Retirement
Democratic Sen. Ben Nelson of Nebraska has told his supporters that he will retire instead of seeking a third term next year.
Nelson said in a Tuesday statement, "Simply put: It is time to move on."
His decision comes as a blow to Democrats' hopes of maintaining control of the Senate.
Republicans need to net four seats to take back the Senate and they've targeted Nelson's seat as an opportunity. They say Nebraska has tilted to the right in recent years and think Nelson's vote for President Barack Obama's signature health care legislation would have weighed him down.

I suspect this is because he knows he can't win after his involvement in O-care. Now the Dem candidate will be bale to say "I had nothing to do with it."
