Nebraska Democrats have long known that the prospect of getting their candidates into one of the state's three House seats is a tough slog.

But Democrats may have one question in their arsenal that could help them in 2010: What have the GOP incumbents accomplished?

Nebraska's three House representatives -- Jeff Fortenberry, Adrian Smith and Lee Terry -- have had only one bill among them enacted into law since they've been in office.

Only Terry, who represents Nebraska's Omaha-centered 2nd District, has sponsored a bill that went on to become law in his 10-plus years in the House. And that was to rename an Omaha post office.
