NE-SEN: Fischer's Senate fight in Nebraska leaves Republicans frustrated

Republicans are upset that the race to protect Sen. Deb Fischer (R-Neb.) in deep red Nebraska has gotten competitive, forcing the party to spend precious resources that could be used elsewhere in its fight for the Senate majority.

Fischer, a two-term incumbent, has found herself in a much more precarious position than she — or any Republicans — imagined mere months ago as she tries to fend off a challenge from independent Dan Osborn.

This has prompted finger-pointing on the right, mostly at Fischer for not taking the challenge seriously.

That is especially the case after the Senate Leadership Fund (SLF) announced it was spending $3 million to boost her in the final weeks.
