Deb Fischer: Mama Grizzly Goes To Washington

In an election cycle in which progressive media tried to demonize the Tea Party and paint Republicans as hostile toward woman, Nebraska Senator-elect Deb Fischer will be important in Washington as a reform-minded Tea Party senator who also happens to be female. Fischer defeated former Nebraska Senator and Governor Bob Kerrey, who had lived in New York for decades and attempted to carpetbag the state, with 58% of the vote to Kerrey’s 41.8%.
