What about Hagel's Senate seat

Chuck Hagel's announcement Monday leaves in limbo a number of politicians who've been eyeing the Senate race in 2008:

Democrats

• Omaha Mayor Mike Fahey, who recently met with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.

• Scott Kleeb, the Yale-educated Dunning ranch hand, made a favorable impression in his losing 2006 race against Republican Adrian Smith in the 3rd Congressional District.

Republicans

• Kermit Brashear, an Omaha lawyer and former speaker of the Nebraska Legislature.

• Jon Bruning, who last year won a second term as Nebraska's attorney general.

• Hal Daub, former Omaha mayor and former congressman.

• Mike Johanns, former Lincoln mayor, former governor and current U.S. agriculture secretary.

• Lee Terry, who recently won his fifth term as Omaha's congressman.

• Jeff Fortenberry, Lincoln's congressman just won a second term.

• Pete Ricketts, the Omaha businessman who lost in a landslide to Democratic Sen. Ben Nelson in 2006.

1. If the Dems want to win in NE any time soon, they better fix the voting machines.

They might talk to Hagel about it. He fixed the machines real good in his two elections.
