Senator Chuck Hagel is retiring at the end of his term.  Former Nebraska governor Mike Johanns stepped down as USDA secretary to run for the seat as a Republican.  Former Nebraska governor and U.S. Senator Bob Kerrey declined to run as a Democrat.  Current Nebraska Attorney General Jon Bruning has decided not to primary Johanns as a Republican.

Scott Kleeb has announced his candidacy as a Democrat.  He lost a congressional race for Nebraska's 3rd District to Adrian Smith in 2006.

Now Tony Raimondo is considering running as a Democrat.  Raimondo is chairman of Behlen Manufacturing Co., is apparently a Republican, and was considered for a Manufacturing Czar post by President Bush.
