Black Voters and Tea Party voters punish Lee Terry in Nebraska over Willie Horton ad

[RandallFan]

I believe black voters probably turned out and Tea Party voters stayed home

Black voters turned out for the Democrat and the Tea Party voters decided they want to run for an open seat in 2016 after Terry survived the primary with 53%.

"We've done it, let's move on and go change Washington," Congressman-elect Brad Ashford told supporters Wednesday afternoon, celebrating his victory over Rep. Lee Terry.

Ashford opened by thanking Terry for his hard work and years of service. He went on to thank his family and campaign staff for their constant support.
"A new chapter begins," Ashford told the crowd, saying he would go to Washington and work to find non-partisan solutions to the problems facing our country.

National Republicans are trying to save Nebraska Rep. Lee Terry with a television ad members of both parties are comparing to one of the most infamous spots in political history.

The National Republican Campaign Committee’s ad (http://youtu.be/Emkbj7Q5psg), titled “Nikko,” hits Democratic nominee Brad Ashford, a state senator, for supporting the state’s “good-time” law, which eliminates one day from a prison sentence for every day a convict spends behind bars without incident.

I am black and I voted for the libertarian candidate. I never liked Lee Terry, all the campaign mailer I got never mentioned anything I cared about. Its always I helped fund police to do that, did that to increase street patrol, did xx to help single mothers and families. All big govt, police state stuff.

The way I see it, the only way to get a different conservative a try is to let Terry lose. Also the campaign ad with Niko Jenkins kinda pissed me off, I mean there is no way of knowing that someone who just committed a bunch of juvenile low grade crimes will commit 4 murders when released(early) from prison. Blaming that on the democrat didn't help at all.

Oh well, I say good riddance to bad rubbish. Lee Terry is one of the establishment republican Boener used to replace tea party/libertarian committee leaders in the house like Justin Amash.
