Nebraska Senate

In this Wednesday, July 4, 2012 photo, Republican senate candidate, state Sen. Deb Fischer, center, campaigns at a July fourth parade in Omaha, Neb. Fischer is running against democrat Bob Kerrey for the senate seat vacated by Ben Nelson, D-Neb. Nebraska has far more cattle than people, so maybe it’s not surprising that Republican U.S. Senate candidate Deb Fischer stresses her rural background, clearly betting that it will play well with voters who have become more conservative and suspicious of government since her opponent, Democrat Bob Kerrey left the Senate in January 2001. But Democrats have worked to find a downside to the ranching life, and their campaign attacks have made the Nebraska race unlike any other this election season. (AP Photo/Nati Harnik)
