Bloomberg Businessweek has this item on the retirement of Nebraska Senator Ben Nelson, which the magazine suggests hurts Democrats’ chances of keeping the Senate in 2012.

Excerpt:

In Hawaii, “Republicans found and got the one candidate to make it a race” — former governor Linda Lingle, said Jennifer Duffy, a Senate analyst for the non-partisan Cook Political Report.

Lingle’s successor as governor, Democrat Neil Abercrombie, “has an approval rating of 30, so she’s looking pretty good.”
