LINCOLN- Democratic organizers in Nebraska believe they may have a shot at success in the state's 1st Congressional District.

Republicans, who have held the seat since 1964, are thinking otherwise.

With the rematch on the horizon, Patty Pansing Brooks and Rep. Mike Flood have contrasting views and visions for Nebraska.

Compromise and Consensus-building are keystones of Pansing Brooks campaign. She said, "We all care about our families, having a well-paying job, good health care and making sure our children have good schools...Those are things we all have in common and a party does not define."

Flood called that quote lacking and sad he believes that Nebraskans are generally more fiscally conservative and adverse to increased spending.

"When I talk to people I hear about how expensive things are, people want change." Flood said. He followed by saying, " Pansing Brooks wants to keep going down the same path with the same leadership that's gotten us into the biggest mess in 40 years."

Flood believes her message of civility and transcending party boundaries is resonating with voters, Flood responded by saying her string of attacks on Flood says different.

Both candidates said they are confident heading into the November rematch despite their major differences.
