Yep, the unlikely Hagel took the senate seat back for the Repuplicans from the only Democrat to have held it for 130 years. I love figures, and the way they can be twisted. Them's a whole lotta "R"s, I don't give a damn how you try to paint it. Nebraska loves Republicans. Hagel is a Republican. What's so unlikely about that?
