[The Northerner]

Ben Nelson, Democratic Senator from Nebraska, is retiring. The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur explains why progressives should celebrate.

Now, how about finding a real progressive Democrat as a replacement so that we have a better chance of retaining his seat?

1. A real progressive Democrat would be great,

but they won't fly in super red Nebraska. We keep trying!

2. We won't know until we TRY.

3. Who is he going to lobby for? Pharma? Oil? nt

5. Nelson is a Democrat

the same way I'm Queen of England.

Except, I do far less damage than he does.

6. My sentiments exactly

To reiterate, the only thing that makes a distinction between a bribe and a large private campaign contribution is an act of Congress.

As far at I am concerned, Ben Nelson is one of the most corrupt members of the Senate.
