A Huge Night For Nebraska Democrats

Victory! Last night, Scott Kleeb won a landslide victory against former Republican Tony Raimondo in the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate. Kleeb's victory was a testament to the strength of his campaign in the face of a media blitz from Raimondo's deep-pocketed campaign. But while Raimondo focused on media, Kleeb focused on contacting every voter - and was rewarded with a huge victory. In the...

Nebraska Democratic Party - 10:27 a.m.

You can't do it alone.

Last night Scott Kleeb won a landslide victory over Tony Raimondo. Scott carried 75 percent of the vote, verses Tony’s 25 percent. In Lancaster County it was even more in favor of Scott, where he recieved 80 percent of the votes cast. There are a lot of reasons why Scott earned this landslide victory, but the biggest one is this… He spent time talking to his fellow Nebraskan’s, he listens to t...

Rauschenberg's Legacy

Robert Rauschenberg, one of America’s most prominent and prolific visual artists of the post-war period, died Tuesday. He was 82. Much is sure to be written in the coming days and weeks about the work, meaning the artistic work, of Rauschenberg—and that attention is much deserved. But there will likely be much less said of his political work, which, though perhaps less transformati...
