Scott Kleeb Wins Nebraska Democratic Senate Primary!

by Jonathan Singer, Tue May 13, 2008 at 06:48:19 PM EDT

Here are the results:

Scott Kleeb: 48,202 votes (68 percent)
Tony Raimondo: 17,816 votes (25 percent)

73 percent of the expected vote reporting as of 10:32 PM Eastern

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."

My God, the Kleeb race is on the front page?  And here I thought that was reserved for Youtube clips.

::invisible 2 rating::

I'd give a real one, but I lost rating powers for hide-rating Jerome on the "preening" thread.

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.

According to NE SoS

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...

...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.

Corporate Dems lost this one big time.

31&% of the vote in

Kleeb up by 23.4k-8.8k 14.5k votes

I think it is over and the victor is the guy with a "Brand for Change"

Go Kleeb!
