Scott Kleeb is the Democratic nominee and will face Republican Mike Johanns for Chuck Hagel's U.S. Senate seat after both won resounding victories in Tuesday's Nebraska primary.

Kleeb, a Hastings College history professor, defeated Columbus industrialist Tony Raimondo. Johanns rolled past political newcomer Pat Flynn on his way to the November contest to replace Hagel, who isn't seeking re-election.

In the Second District House contest, Republican Lee Terry secured the GOP nomination and will have a chance to win a sixth term. The general election will feature a rematch between Terry and his 2006 Democratic challenger, Jim Esch who handily defeated Richard Carter.

Terry says he feels good about the primary results, but he expects a tough fall campaign. He says he's going to work just as hard as Esch this year. Terry says he thinks voters will see that his desire to limit taxes would be better for the economy.

Former Omaha City Councilwoman Brenda Council and Dennis Womack finished 1-2 in the District 11 race and will face-off in November to see who replaces Sen. Ernie Chambers in the Legislature.

Chambers' 38-year reign as state senator for the north Omaha district is ending because of term limits. He is the longest-serving state senator in Nebraska history.

Little was at stake in the Nebraska presidential contests. No delegates are at stake in the Democratic vote because February caucuses awarded 16 of 24 possible delegates to Barack Obama, who defeated Hillary Clinton in Tuesday's primary as well.

Clinton won the West Virginia primary Tuesday, walking off with 20 of the 28 delegates and Obama winning the other eight. That left Obama with 1,883.5 delegates to 1,717 for Clinton, out of 2,026 needed to clinch the nomination at the party convention in Denver this summer.

The Democratic win on Tuesday in a Mississippi special election increased by one the number of delegates needed to win the nomination.

Republicans didn't hold caucuses in Nebraska, but Sen. John McCain already has the delegates needed to win the nomination. He easily won Nebraska anyway over Ron Paul, the only other candidate on the GOP ballot.
