Lol It looks like that Dan Osborn has played everyone for fools.

Dan Osborn has decided he will NOT be seeking the Democratic Party's nomination, despite not so subtly seeking it throughout the ENTIRE primary, now making the Dems push for a Write-In Campaign.

MEANWHILE: Osborn has been running interference in the Legal Marijuana Now Primary, asking Kenneth Peterson to drop out while giving $30,000 to Kerry Eddy on the condition she suspend her bid leaving Osborn as Fischer's only opponent in the general.

HOWEVER, if Eddy drops out, the party Chair Can simply appoint a new nominee, whom he may use to help get a Democrat on the ballot.....

That's alot of effort for a guaranteed loss.

There was a poll VERY EARLY ON that had Osborn beating Fischer, so I am pretty sure HE thinks he can win.

BUT that was when he was building a Coalition with Dems, which he just burned....so....

Its great to be an internal poll taker in Nebraska this year. Steady work.

Fischer's gonna win. How is it that Ricketts is safe but Fischer is in some trouble ?. Nebrasksa is a realiably red state and Fischer should not be in any trouble.

After 10 years in the Senate, she became the 2nd most senior Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee.

Dan Osborn (Fischer's opponent) is not a Democrat but an Independent and polling shows it being close.

However, after Utah's 2022 Senate Race and Kansas's 2014 senate race with the way those turned out, I'm not expecting a Fischer win by less than 6-9 points.

Indeed, it's hard to not see Osborn as another Greg Orman situation.

Too many undecideds. Most of those will vote Republican by default in this state.

What does Fischer have going against her that would lead the polls to be this close, anyways (not that I'm convinced she's going to lose, or win by so close)? She strikes me as being the most unremarkable 2024 GOP senator possible.

Yeh....for an incumbent these are suprisingly low numbers. She might get by because Ricketts is on the ballot and more popular.

 
D:1RP ( 5618.82 points)September 04, 2024 12:50pm
I wouldn't look for an Osborn win possibility until he's polling at least 49%.

I'm surprised Osborn is polling consistently close to Fischer.

Just for fun I checked to see how Survey USA polled the Kansas Senate race from 2014 and, indeed, their last poll was Greg Orman +2.

Not taking the bait.

 
I:9951E Pluribus Unum ( -228.64 points)September 25, 2024 01:28pm
Its POSSIBLE, probable.....yet to be determined

I'll wait till the race gets closer before I get my hopes up

For whomever posted it, I don’t think a Pam Keith endorsement is appropriate. I’d have to be reminded of the endorsement policy, but a failed Democratic congressional candidate supports a Democrat, it’s not newsworthy (the general requirement to include endorsements).

What Democrat?

The other 2 I added might count to be removed in that sense, but Osborne's not a Democrat, he's made that abundantly clear through rejecting the Democrats nomination and making it a point to distance himself from the party in the general election

 
R:11448Maryland Republican93 ( 2178.00 points)September 25, 2024 05:56pm
I would agree. Keep the Osborn endorsement but delete the other two. He’s technically an independent so I think it’s appropriate. The other two, it’s a D endorsing a D, nothing unexpected.

 
I:9951E Pluribus Unum ( -228.64 points)September 25, 2024 06:23pm
My case would be that she is technically a public figure but I get that its like "is she REALLY?"

 
I:11727LSjustbloggin ( 99.88 points)September 25, 2024 11:24pm
They said Greg Orman had a chance in 2014 in Kansas, they said Evan McMullin had a chance in Utah in 2022. Now they say Dan Osborn has a chance in Nebraska in 2024.

 
D:1RP ( 5618.82 points)September 27, 2024 11:39am
I continue with my guide that Osborn has to be polling at 49% before I think he has a chance.

What has Fischer done that makes her deserving to lose ?. She's just your typical establishment Republican.
