OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - Nebraska Democrats have long known that the prospect of getting their candidates into 1 of the state's three House seats is a tough slog.
But Democrats may have one question in their arsenal that could help them in 2010: What have the GOP incumbents accomplished?
Nebraska's three House representatives - Jeff Fortenberry, Adrian Smith and Lee Terry - have had only one bill among them enacted into law since they've been in office.
Only Terry, who represents Nebraska's Omaha-centered 2nd District, has sponsored a bill that went on to become law in his 10-plus years in the House. And that was to rename an Omaha post office.
