Is Ben Nelson Stupid?

I know that Sen. Ben Nelson (D Sellout-Neb.) has to explain his vote in favor of the so-called health-care "reform" scam. I know that he needs the largest audience possible. But does the man really think that the people of his home state, Nebraska, want to see his mug. . .during the Holiday Bowl football game?
If you do not know, Nebraskans, are shall I write, very crazy for their Cornhusker football. Even though the Cornhuskers are having an average year, they are in a bowl game. The Holiday Bowl is played in San Diego and the Cornhuskers are playing the Arizona Wildcats. It is a sellout. And no doubt the majority of attendees are going to be from Nebraska. And it will more than likely be the highest-rated program in the state of Nebraska.
Enter Sen. Nelson. He voted for the so-called health-care "reform" scam. A Rasmussen poll came out yesterday is, well devastating. It showed that if the election for his seat were held now, he would be trounced by the sitting Republican governor, Dave Heineman, 61% to 30%. And support for the so-called health-care "reform" in Nebraska is coming in at a rip-roaring 17%. Yet Sen. Nelson voted for the scam.
Now, Sen. Nelson needs to explain to the voters that are ready to throw him out now, why he voted for something that 53% of his constituents strongly oppose.
And he picks a 30-second commercial. . .during the Holiday Bowl.
What another way to make your voters hate you even more. Interrupting their football game to explain why you are stupid enough to vote for a scam that you sold out your pro-life cred for. Yes, I am certain that should send your numbers to the stratosphere. NOT!
Not that I want to offer advice to such a sellout, but if he wants it, here it is. Sen. Nelson, scrap the sound bite and get some interviews with local media. Find some friendly places to get your message out there. Bothering people right before New Years and in the middle of a football game is just not the way to do it.
It just shows that this guy has no clue what his vote has done to a once stellar rep. It is beyond tarnished. A sound bite is not going to save it.
What it shows is that Sen. Nelson is stupid.
