| Description | A possible title bout between political heavyweights Mike Johanns and Bob Kerrey for the U.S. Senate has the makings of a marquee matchup.
The clash of past champions would offer voters a choice between two distinctly different personalities, each with a lengthy public record to defend.
It would be a fight with national implications: Democrats would view it as a chance to widen their Senate majority; Republicans would be forced to defend a seat in a red state.
The only thing missing? The fighters themselves.
Neither man has entered the ring, despite being heavily recruited by his party.
Democrat Kerrey says he will announce a decision soon; Republican Johanns has kept mum.
Before squaring off in the fall, each would have to win a preliminary bout: the May primaries.
Democrats likely would clear the field for a Kerrey return. Johanns, however, would have to knock out a growing field of GOP hopefuls. |
