| Description | GRAND ISLAND, Neb. - Don Stenberg, who lost to U.S. Sen. Ben Nelson in a squeaker in 2000, is considering a rematch.
Stenberg said Saturday that he would spend the next few weeks talking to people in the Republican Party, in the state and in Washington, about a possible bid.
"I've been approached by a lot of people asking me to consider a run for Senate in 2006. I've agreed to consider it," said Stenberg, who worked the crowd Saturday at a gathering of the Nebraska Republican Central Committee.
Stenberg, who was state attorney general for 12 years, would come to the race with considerable name recognition, but with questions about his electability. He ran for Senate twice and failed.
His first loss came in 1996 when now-U.S. Sen. Chuck Hagel won the Republican nomination.
