It's not really up to us to get someone to run.

A moderate gun Dem that is not a Third Way corporatist would be awesome with me.

Someone like Gov. Brian Schweitzer of Montana would be perfect, IMO.

I don't live in NE, but I'd donate to the campaign in a heartbeat if there was a possibility of getting a real Democrat in that Senate seat.
