Looking good so far for Kleeb...

Update [2008-5-13 22:24:24 by Todd Beeton]:Scott's wife, Jane Fleming Kleeb, is blogging the election HERE.

Update [2008-5-13 22:44:18 by Todd Beeton]:No official word yet but Jane Kleeb just blogged: "We did it...we are headed over to the speech now...we are so excited." Congratulations, Scott and Jane!

Update [2008-5-13 22:48:19 by Todd Beeton]:Scott is officially the nominee. It wasn't even close.

Tony Raimondo conceded the U.S. Senate primary tonight to Scott Kleeb, saying Kleeb will be a strong Democratic nominee in the fall against Republican Mike Johanns.
"Scott Klebb is a delightful young man,'' Raimondo said in an interview. "Scott is just a terrific candidate and will be the best candidate running for Senate that will change Washington."

Chalk one up for the home team. The top of the Democratic ticket is going to need some long coat tails to pull this one through for us in the fall, but here's hoping.

by werehippy on Tue May 13, 2008 at 10:10:18 PM EST

According to NE SoS (2.00 / 1)

Kleeb is up by 12k votes with 24% in.
As per percents it is 68%-26%.

The self-funded hack is going to lose.

Anyone else ever imagine... (2.00 / 1)

...that we'd be this fired up for a Democratic Primary for a Senate seat in Nebraska?

This is great, great night to be a Democrat. I really want Kleeb to pull this out, so I can wear my "Kleeb for Senate" shirt tomorrow here in DC with pride...

Raimondo was terrible, too. (2.00 / 1)

Corporate Dems lost this one big time.

31&% of the vote in (2.00 / 1)

Kleeb up by 23.4k-8.8k 14.5k votes

Go Kleeb!
