Oh Please they all are a waste of time, if you have Palin helping then you are up the creek. Tea party anohter waste of life.
Well if she is anything like Sarah Palin who endorsed her, the Democrats have nothing to worry about.

Sarah Palin via Facebook:
As recently as a week ago, Deb Fischer was dismissed by the establishment. Why? Because she is not part of the good old boys’ permanent political class. The message from the people of Nebraska is simple and powerful: America is looking for real change in Washington, and commonsense conservatives like Deb Fischer represent that change. I applaud Moms like Deb Fischer who are bold enough to step up and run on a conservative platform to restore America and protect our children’s future. Congratulations to the people of Nebraska. As the Huskers’ fight song goes: “The eyes of the land, upon every hand, are looking at you. Fight on for victory!”
– Sarah Palin
With the support of Sarah Palin shows that this person is likely not in good company. Just because someone work in the business world doesn't mean that they understand government and how to make it better. The legislative body is far different from a corporate board room. Why don't people understand this?
