Is Bob Kerry too liberal for Nebraska?

It is hard for people to apparently remember that there was a reason that Bob Kerry didn't run for re-election in 2000. His many liberal political views would have made it a somewhat tough race. From the Politico today:

Bob Kerrey took a lonely position against banning gay marriage in the 1990s. He opposed a ban on flag desecration, voted against welfare reform and ran up high Americans for Democratic Action scores while serving as the senator from one of the most conservative states in the nation. . . .
