Does Bob Kerrey Think Nebraskans Are Idiots?

I'm not up on Nebraska politics these days, but I'm guessing that for a Democrat to win there today, he/she needs to be a relatively moderate/centrist Democrat. Does Bob Kerrey know this? Is he self-aware? Does he not know that the New School for Social Research makes Harvard and Yale and all the other leftist outposts of higher education look like NRA chapters? If Obi Wan were looking down on The New School from the cliffs and judging based on left-wing, anti-American nuttiness, he would say that "you'll never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy." Yet Bob Kerrey thinks that Nebraskans are too dumb to figure this out, or he simply has a quite high opinion of himself. Or Nebraskans constitute the most liberal electorate this side of Greece. Who knew?
