Coming Attractions

Hope you folks don't mind that I'm giving myself a little bit of time to survey the Nebraska political landscape before writing my "Post-Primary Gut-Check" on the Ben Nelson-Pete Ricketts match-up this November. Obviously, it's going to be an interesting campaign that will say a lot about the priorities of Nebraska voters. But what tone this race is going to take in such a strange electoral climate remains to be seen. The only thing we know for certain is that some fat checks are being written behind the scenes and some big dollars are about to start pouring-in.

Stay tuned. As evidenced by Ricketts' assumed membership in the Zissou Society - which should, perhaps, be called the Cult of the Red Stocking Cap - I'm thinking this one might get ridiculous.
