Beleaguered Nelson to air TV ad tonight

http://www.journalstar.com/news/state-and-regional/govt-and-politics/article_19bc53c8-f4e8-11de-ab34-001cc4c002e0.html

As a fresh poll measured the political cost of Sen. Ben Nelson's health reform vote, he prepared Tuesday to take his case directly to Nebraskans during Wednesday night's Holiday Bowl game.

Nelson will air a new TV ad in which he attempts to debunk opposition claims that the Senate legislation represents a government takeover, and he makes the case for health care reform

-snip-

Julie Schmit-Albin, executive director of Nebraska Right to Life, said the Rasmussen results demonstrate that Nelson's votes on health care are "clearly out of touch with the majority" of Nebraskans.

Earlier, Schmit-Albin said Nelson betrayed his pro-life supporters when he agreed to compromise language prohibiting federal funding of abortions.


Politics and bedfellows ... I'll not only be voting for him, I'll probably donate. Yikes!

1. Might as well donate to him. Money is what his vote is all about anyway.
