Bob Kerrey in McCook today
Bob Kerrey, Nebraska's former governor, U.S. Senator, wounded Vietnam veteran and Medal of Honor recipient, will be in town today seeking votes in his attempt to win Ben Nelson's seat as U.S. Senator. He will hold a news conference at 3:45 p.m., at the George Norris home and then will appear at a reception after that at the Bieroc Café. He has ran a rather low-key campaign up to now, focusing more on his opponent's liabilities than his own strengths but I imagine that will change dramatically in the weeks leading up to the election in November. I watched the debate he had with his opponent at the State Fair a few weeks ago and there was no doubt in my mind who won. Of course, I'm biased.
