Nelson Considering Running Again

Senator Ben Nelson of Nebraska is considering running again in 2012. The Democrat raised the ire of his constituents by voting for the ObamaCare package. Nelson has been shown in polls trailing badly to potential Republican opponents.

According to the Hill, he's 'leaning' towards running.

KETV NewsWatch 7 in Nebraska reports that Nelson has brought back Paul Johnson, the manager of his 2006 Senate campaign. Although Nelson has not announced his plans, a spokesman for the senator told KETV that he is "leaning toward running" for a third term in the Senate.
Nelson likely faces a tough battle in 2012. A Magellan Strategies poll last December found 52 percent of likely voters in the state had an unfavorable view of Nelson, while 43 percent had a favorable view. 
He is still likely to lose. So let's see what he does.
