U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Mike Johanns will soon resign from the Bush Administration to run for Nebraska's now open U.S. Senate seat. Johanns, a former 2 term Governor of Nebraska, enters had the current favorite in the GOP state. He leads Attorney General Jon Bruning by almost 10 points in the primary and if the GOP in Nebraska has half a brain they will lose Bruning and go with Johanns. Johanns currently holds the advantage over Former U.S. Senator Bob Kerrey who also served as Governor. Kerrey, a Democrat currently resides in NY and hasn't been in contact with Nebraska since he left the senate and almost ran for Mayor of New York City. Johanns left to serve in the cabinet but has stayed into contact with Nebraska for some time. I am going to change our rating for this race and say it Leans Republican Hold. Kerrey will have a tough race against Johanns.
