As a fresh poll measured the political cost of Sen. Ben Nelson's health reform vote, he prepared Tuesday to take his case directly to Nebraskans during Wednesday night's Holiday Bowl game.
Nelson will air a new TV ad in which he attempts to debunk opposition claims that the Senate legislation represents a government takeover, and he makes the case for health care reform.
"With all the distortions about health care reform, I want you to hear directly from me," the Democratic senator says in the ad.
Nelson, dressed in an open-necked shirt and sweater, speaks directly into the camera during the 30-second ad.
The message will be launched during the Nebraska-Arizona football game and continue to air statewide for an undisclosed number of days.
The political damage Nelson may have incurred in providing the critical 60th vote that cleared the way for Senate passage of the health care reform bill showed up Tuesday in a poll released by Rasmussen Reports.

Big price to pay for opposing the will of the people in the upcoming year ! We are supposed to a representative system they seem to forget that when they go to Washington 2010 will be a house cleaning !
good riddance!
now to get rid of the rest!
I guess he just saw the polls that the current Republican Gov polls 66% to his 34% in a trial race. Too bad he is not up for re-election til 2012. If any dumbocrat in washington votes for big o's health plan they better get ready to vacate at the next election. By the way, what happened to the Fort Hood investigation? Cover up, Cover up, and lies.
