Deb Fischer
I've had to revert your latest edits to Deb Fischer, as violating Wikipedia's principle of neutral point of view.

The phrase "Fischer Land Grab", which you used as the title for your subsection, is apparently derived directly from pro-Kerrey campaign materials. It is not used in neutral sources (e.g. major newspapers). It's inappropriate for Wikipedia to use it as an "official" name for the episode. (In a similar way, I've had to revert edits to the Ben Nelson article insisting on "Cornhusker Kickback" as the title of a subsection.)

You've also removed a quote by a Fischer spokesman bad-mouthing Kerrey ("reckless disregard for the truth" and "gutter politics"). I introduced this quote into the section to balance a similar quote by a Kerrey spokesman bad-mouthing Fischer ("...vindictiveness; pettiness; deceit; abuse of power"), which quote you left in place. Two vituperative quotes from opposite sides lend the article a measure of balance; a single such quote slants it unacceptably to one side.

Before you edit articles on political matters, I'd strongly urge you to read WP:NPOV. Ideally, no one reading one of your edits should be able to tell what your personal beliefs are. If you feel too strongly about the Kerrey-Fischer race to follow this principle, I'd urge you to avoid editing the article and to limit yourself to subjects on which you can write neutrally.
