After losing a Republican primary for Senate to Chuck Hagel in 1996 and then losing a heart-breakingly close general election to Democrat Ben Nelson in '06, former Nebraska Arty. Gen. (1990-2004) Don Stenberg has recently decided to make a third Senate bid next year. Stalwart conservative Stenberg, best known for arguing the case for his state's ban on partial-birth abortion before the U.S. Supreme Court, will, if nominated, face a rematch with Nelson (lifetime ACU rating: 52%).
A just-completed poll by Channel 3 (Omaha) shows that Stenberg still packs a political wallop among Cornhusker State Republicans. According to the survey, Stenberg gets 61% of likely primary voters, compared to 6% for state party Chairman David Kramer, and 2% for Republican National Committeeman Kerry Winterer (who has recently decided not to make the race).
