| Description | Candidate No. 2 is Matt Connealy (D), a farmer who is
serving his second term in the Nebraska Legislature. Connealy is the Democratic nominee in Nebraska's 1st district, left open by GOP Rep. Doug Bereuter's retirement.
The district is Republican, but the GOP nominated a former Lincoln city councilman, Jeff Fortenberry, known for his conservative views. Establishment Republicans preferred another candidate in the primary, and they may not embrace their nominee.
Still, Connealy has a presence about him. He looks and
sounds like a Congressman. And if Fortenberry runs an amateurish campaign (as he did during the primary) or paints himself into a religious right corner, this could be a very interesting contest. People I talk to, however,
say that Fortenberry is far more appealing and far stronger than Democrats think |
