When we got word that the format of Scott Kleeb's debate against Mike Johanns in Grand Island, Nebraska last Thursday night allowed Scott to ask Mike a direct question, there was no question what our campaign would do.
We turned that debate question over to Scott's Nebraskan supporters.
Our campaign sent out an email across Nebraska and in response Scott received 164 questions to ask Mike Johanns at the debate. Now, while these questions speak a great deal about how Nebraskans feel about Mike Johanns, we think they speak even more powerfully about the concerns Nebraska's voters have about the future of our nation.
Tonight, I'd like to invite you to take a look at what amounts to a snapshot of Nebraska and the issues facing our nation in 2008...

That's unity. That's Nebraska in 2008, with Democratic candidates Scott Kleeb, Jim Esch, Heath Mello and Jeremey Nordquist and their supporters working side by side to encourage early voting in working-class South Omaha. That hasn't happened in a long time in Nebraska.
Doesn't that make you feel good to be a Democrat?
I know I'm fighting against the Denver tide here, but the office in Omaha was humming today and we here at Team Kleeb remain fired up about sharing the latest news from Nebraska with you.
Scott Kleeb and Mike Johanns debated at the Nebraska State Fair last Saturday. Secretary Johanns chose to use his closing statement as additional rebuttal time. This is a short clip you should not miss from that moment:
