Ben Sasse is projected to be the next Senator from Nebraska. This does not come as a surprise, as he appears to have won handily. However, THE WEEKLY STANDARD published the first major political profile of Sasse last summer, when he was a virtual unknown in the state.

Sasse went on to triumph in a 27 point victory in a bruising and crowded primary, where the national GOP was alligned against him. I caught up with him again in September where Sasse was in the middle of an exhaustive and ambitious campaign. Of all the new politicians coming to Washington after tonight, Sasse is certainly on the list of ones to watch closely.
