News out of Nebraska keeps flowing this week. Earlier today Nebraska native and TD Ameritrade founder Joe Ricketts was in the news as an alleged plan to win the 2012 Presidential Race that included “race baiting” was made public. Rickets son Pete bought over $200,000 in advertising this past week against Nebraska Senate challenger Jon Bruning and for eventual winner Deb Fischer. News is just breaking that the first Rasmussen poll has come out with Deb Fischer 18 points ahead of Democrat nominee Bob Kerry. Do you think the allegations towards Ricketts and the connection with Fischer will lessen the gap going forward between the two candidates? Here is the VoterTide Alert for Bob Kerry we received about an hour ago.
