Davis seems to be a well rounded candidate, with views from both sides of the major parties...probably where more candidates need to be.

I find it refreshing to see this type of candidate...to bad we can't find similar candidates here in Illinois.

According to the FEC website, Ms. Davis has only raised about $15k and has a little over $1,000 cash on hand. Not nearly enough to be competative.

I received a public education: socialist.
I drive on highways: socialist.
I call 911 in an emergency: socialist.
I send letters through the mail: socialist.
I read books from the library: socialist.
Jesus was a socialist.
Just so we are clear, the United States today has a mixed economy (socialism and capitalism). Phrases such as "staunch support for socialism&

Interesting how she says she is a "fiscal conservative" yet her positions say she is a tax and spend liberal who is all for big government. The voters will no better on election day, that is, if they even know her name by then.

2010-03-12T01:14:07.985-07:00

Speaking of "flawed comparison" -- just read one... If read with a mindset of understanding sentences as written, Miss Davis was stating that life from bud to full blossom has sacred worth, and quality of life falls naturally under the "pursuit of happiness" declaration, wouldn't you agree?

It's my understanding that Ms. Davis' camp...

2010-03-11T22:36:21.183-07:00

It's my understanding that Ms. Davis' campaign has brought in close to $40,000 at this point. That's not a huge amount in terms of campaign funding, but it's not nothing.

2010-03-11T21:33:25.541-07:00

So in order to be pro-life you have to believe in the cradle to grave welfare state? Uh no, that's flawed comparison. The taking of an innocent life in womb is an entirely different issue than supporting ineffective and expensive big-government programs. But if Ms. Davis wants to use this to justify her staunch support for socialism, she is free to do so. That must be why her campaign has

We did not discuss capital punishment, but I'll ask her. Thanks for reading.

I applaud Ms. Davis for having the courage to highlight pro-lifer hypocrisy: being anti-abortion yet voting against helping funding for these children after they are born.
Did you get a chance to see where she stands on capital punishment?

2010-02-08T13:45:12.744-07:00

To hear anyone maligned for wanting to work and represent Nebraska and be a part of the solution in these difficult times is really quite sad. It's endemic of the sort thinking that emerges when despair and fear hold sway in our midst.
Nebraska is a conservative area, and Ms. Davis has an uphill fight to communicate her message from the looks of things, but I have seen Rep. Adrian

It's too bad that Anonymous, be they one or more people, can't get to know Rebekah. If they did get to know her even a little bit they might be surprised.
I voted for her when she ran for a local gov seat. She has my vote for this seat. I'm registered Rep, but I do not blindly vote for the Republican party

Anyway, Rebekah has some good views and stances that I very

2010-02-02T07:18:06.251-07:00

Wow, real hard hitting interview. Your softball questions aren't going to convince us that she is nothing more than a typical liberal Democrat trying to fool us into thinking she is a moderate/independant. The earlier post is correct, she won't break 30% of the vote.

2010-02-02T07:06:55.848-07:00

Funny. I never mentioned here that she is an Ivy League grad. Seems to me you had your mind made up about her before reading a single word. Did you read a single word?

Another young self-righteous Ivy League grad who thinks she is qualified to serve in Congress. We've seen this movie before and don't need a sequeal. This naive little girl needs to go out, get a real job, start paying taxes, raise a family, gain some life experience and check back with us in about 15 years. She'll be lucky to get 30% of the vote.

Outstanding interview. Best of luck to Ms. Davis.

Thanks for reading, Ben. Please ignore the green hyperlinks. They are ads. I didn't put them there, and I'm not happy about them. When I add any hyperlinks, they appear orange/brown; those have something meaningful attached. Also, thanks again for nudging me to keep writing. Now that we're settled in, it should be easier to produce more consistently.

2009-12-21T00:23:12.006-07:00

I feel dirty. I'd rather have a public option and not this sweet heart clause that will make the state a whipping boy for years to come.

Even though I do believe in health care reform; I did not want to allow anymore stalling tactics by the republicans; and I will personally benefit from this deal as it impacts me professionally I feel more shame than relief.
