Source: Dems Threaten Nelson In Pursuit of 60

While the Democrats appease Senator Lieberman, they still have to worry
about other recalcitrant Democrats including Nebraska Senator Ben Nelson.
Though Lieberman has been out front in the fight against the public option
and the Medicare buy-in, Nelson was critical of both. Now that those
provisions appear to have been stripped from the bill, Lieberman may get
on board, but Nelson's demand that taxpayer money not be used to fund
abortion has still not been met. According to a Senate aide, the White
House is now threatening to put Nebraska's Offutt Air Force Base on the
BRAC list if Nelson doesn't fall into line.

Offutt Air Force Base employs some 10,000 military and federal employees
in Southeastern Nebraska. As our source put it, this is a "naked effort by
Rahm Emanuel and the White House to extort Nelson's vote." They are
"threatening to close a base vital to national security for what?" asked
the Senate staffer.

Indeed, Offutt is the headquarters for US Strategic Command, the successor
to Strategic Air Command, and not by accident. STRATCOM was located in the
middle of the country for strategic reasons. Its closure would be a
massive blow to the economy of the state of Nebraska, but it would also be
another example of this administration playing politics with our national
security.

Closing a base, that's serious money, fresh new green backs from out
of state, the only money that's better than tourist money. The people
in the Cornhusker state will make a fetus their official state bird food
before they lose that base.
