At least the GOP found a viable candidate to run for the Senate in Massachusetts. However, Nebraska Democrats are still searching for someone to run for that open Senate seat. It's rather disappointing for Democrats that the GOP can find someone to challenge an entrenched Senate incumbent with a massive campaign warchest before the Democrats can find anyone to run for a vacant Senate seat.
I guess that no one wants to go in there and get massacred by Johanns.
Of course, it's not like Ogonowski stands any chance against Kerry, either. Maybe Ogonowski is just trying to pull a Romney, long-term. Any guesses?
Well, I would personally think that there's no way he runs as strongly in MA-05 in a general election as he did in the special. So, if he runs again there and underperforms, he'll lose the momentum.
However, if he pulls around the best we could expect he would pull (say 40%), it would certainly continue his momentum and make him more viable. If you get my drift...
I was thinking the same thing about MA-05. The only reason he got 45% there in the special was because Democratic areas didn't turn out while Republican areas did. That wont be happening in a general election.
