29. I don't know if Condi's still respected anymore--hard to say how

much weight her endorsement would carry. I just think it's weird and random, even though the article says they met once at a conference or something. I think in the end, Hagel's endorsement of Kerrey might help with middle of the road types--Indies and conserative Dems (which are pretty much the only kind in Nebraska anyway), not so much with Repubs, who are still probably pissed at him for his last few years in the Senate defying Bush/Crashcart (and for his helpfulness towards Obama). Condi might help with Repubs, I can't see anyone else being swayed by her. She can't separate herself from that administration's MASSIVE failures very well. I don't live in Nebraska anymore, so I'm just watching from a distance--but I always thought the politics there were interesting.
